OKR Execution

OKR execution services provide organisations with the support and guidance needed to successfully implement and manage execution towards achieving their Objectives and Key Results (OKRs). This is a critical aspect of OKRs often overlooked by organisations.

By having a solid OKR execution process in place, you can:

• Ensure that teams are focusing on the highest priority items
• Align teams around shared goals
• Improve focus and productivity
• Drive innovation and growth
• Measure progress and accountability
• Improve the flow of value through your organisation
• Embed a repeatable way of working into your culture

McKenna Agile Consultants offers a comprehensive suite of OKR execution services, including:

• OKR Cycle Set Up
• Facilitation of OKR Events
• Ensuring OKR and Work Alignment
• Launching Cross Functional Teams
• Creating a Squad Based Approach
• OKR Reporting
• Establishing a Portfolio
• Establishing an Outcome Focused Culture

Our consultants work closely with organisations to establish a customised OKR cycle that aligns with their strategic goals and operational needs. We provide guidance on setting Objectives, developing Key Results, and defining the frequency of check-ins. We also use our extensive experience and knowledge in Lean and Agile methodologies to ensure that our clients continue to learn, improve and growth through continuous feedback loops.

Our facilitators lead workshops and meetings to support you throughout the OKR process. This includes facilitating OKR refinement sessions, check-ins, and retrospectives. Eventually we aim to transition ownership of these events to your inhouse OKR champions.

We help organisations develop systems and processes to ensure that OKRs are integrated into their day-to-day operations. This may involve setting up cross functional teams, or “squads”, establishing a common execution cadence, creating OKR dashboards, aligning OKRs with team goals, and providing regular updates on progress.

Cross-functional teams can help break down silos, improve collaboration, and ensure that OKRs are aligned across the organisation. Our consultants can assist in forming these teams and providing the necessary support for their success.

A squad-based approach can empower teams to take ownership of their OKRs and drive results. Our consultants can help you adopt this approach and provide guidance on team structure, roles, and responsibilities.

Our OKR reporting services provide organisations with the tools and insights needed to track progress, measure results, and identify areas for improvement. This may involve creating dashboards, analysing data, and providing regular reports to stakeholders. We also have our own, bespoke Strategy and OKR Assessment tool that we use in collaboration with our clients.

Establishing a portfolio helps organisations prioritise and manage their major investments that drive the OKRs effectively. Our consultants can assist in creating a lean portfolio that aligns with the organisation's strategic goals and supports a focus on high-value outcomes.

An outcome-focused culture encourages employees to think beyond tasks and focus on delivering results. Our consultants can help organisations foster this culture through training, coaching, and organisational development initiatives.
