The OKR Hub

The right OKR service depends on where you are now.

Most organisations arrive knowing something needs to change — not knowing which service they need. The right starting point is your situation, not a service catalogue.

Which of these sounds like you?

We work with organisations in six distinct situations. The same problem can be experienced by a CEO, a Programme Manager, or a Chief of Staff. Find the situation that fits — the right service follows from there.

01

The Implementer

I've been asked to roll out OKRs and I don't want to get it wrong.

  • Leadership has decided on OKRs — now the responsibility sits with you
  • You've researched the methodology, but you've never done this at scale before
  • A failed first cycle won't just stall OKRs — it will make the second attempt much harder

02

The Fixer

OKRs are in place. Something is wrong. I think I know what it is.

  • Objectives are written, check-ins happen, scores get submitted
  • But leaders ignore OKRs in real conversations and teams have learned to game the scoring
  • You've been asked to fix OKRs — but you're not sure if the framework is the problem or the culture around it

03

The Introducer

I've used OKRs before. I want to bring them in here and do it properly.

  • You've championed OKRs internally — now you're accountable for making them land
  • What worked in your previous organisation may not translate directly into this one
  • You don't want to be the person who pushed for OKRs only for them to fail on your watch

04

The Decider

I'm choosing between OKRs and another operating system.

  • You've heard the case for OKRs, Play to Win, Balanced Scorecard, Hoshin Kanri
  • You're not looking for an evangelist — you want an honest view of what fits your context
  • The wrong framework choice is expensive to undo

05

The Strategist

OKRs are part of a bigger problem. I need a better way to manage strategy.

  • Strategy gets agreed at the top and dissolves by the time it reaches teams
  • Goals exist, but they don't connect to the strategy in any meaningful way
  • You're not sure if OKRs are the answer — or whether the problem runs deeper than a framework

06

The Transformation Sponsor

We have a strategy. We're not executing it. Fix the system.

  • An internal fix has already been tried — it didn't stick
  • You have accountability for execution at a level that requires more than a training programme
  • You need a partner who can operate at transformation scale, not a supplier

The gap between strategy and execution is a design problem.

Most organisations don't fail because of bad strategy. They fail because strategy and execution exist on opposite sides of a chasm — and nobody has designed the bridge. OKRs don't close that chasm on their own. The work is in what surrounds them.

01Clarity

Honest visibility before anything else.

You can't fix what you can't see. The first job is understanding what your strategy actually says, how it lands with the people responsible for executing it, and where the signal breaks down between the executive team and the teams doing the work.

02Architecture

A framework designed for your organisation.

Most OKR problems are structural. The framework needs to be built around how your organisation actually makes decisions — not imported wholesale from a methodology guide. Cascade design, governance, and operating rhythms are all part of the architecture.

03Momentum

Capability transfer, not dependency.

An engagement is only successful if your people can run the next cycle without us. We design for capability off-load from the start — not as an afterthought. Every engagement ends with an organisation that owns its own OKR practice.

What it looks like in practice.

Two organisations at different starting points. Same outcome: a working OKR practice they own and run themselves.

Three honest options.

Not every situation needs an expert-led engagement. Here is where each approach fits — and where it does not.

Self-directed

Right if:

Your team is small, the stakes are manageable, and you have an internal champion with the time and capability to run this.

Not right if:

You need speed, high confidence, and a first cycle that survives contact with leadership.

Expert-led engagement

Right if:

You want a proven framework, a partner who has done this at scale, and an engagement designed to build internal capability — not create dependency.

Not right if:

You just need a short training session with no structural change required.

Training only

Right if:

Your framework is sound and your team just needs to understand how to write and use OKRs effectively.

Not right if:

The problem is structural — poor alignment, low leadership engagement, or a framework that was never designed for your organisation.

Questions about OKR services

The questions we hear most often — answered as directly as we can.

Which OKR service is right for my organisation?

It depends on where you are. If you are rolling out OKRs for the first time — or have tried before and it didn't stick — OKR Implementation is usually the right starting point. If OKRs are already running but something isn't working, or if you're dealing with a gap between strategy and execution that has resisted previous attempts, OKR Consulting is the right conversation. If you're unsure, a free 30-minute discovery call will make it clear.

What is the difference between OKR implementation and OKR consulting?

Implementation is a structured, time-bound project for organisations starting OKRs from scratch — or restarting after a failed first attempt. It has a defined beginning, middle and end, and the goal is a working OKR practice with internal capability built in. Consulting is for organisations already running OKRs, or for those dealing with a strategy-execution problem that is bigger than a first-cycle rollout. Consulting engagements are typically multi-cycle and cover framework redesign, strategic alignment, and operating model work.

Do I need external support, or can I implement OKRs internally?

You can implement OKRs without external support — particularly if you have an internal champion with deep OKR experience, strong leadership buy-in, and the time to design and run the process. The OKR Focus Flow methodology is freely available and covers everything you need. The case for external support is speed, confidence, and risk reduction: organisations that work with an experienced OKR partner on their first cycle are significantly more likely to run a successful second cycle independently.

How long does an OKR engagement typically take?

A first-cycle implementation typically runs across 12 weeks — structured around the Diagnose, Design, Deploy, Deepen framework. OKR consulting engagements typically run across two to four cycles (six to twelve months), depending on the complexity of the problem. Transformation-level work runs longer. We always agree scope and review points upfront.

Can OKR training replace a full implementation?

Training alone rarely creates a working OKR practice. It builds awareness and capability, but it doesn't design the framework, embed the operating rhythms, or create the accountability structures that make OKRs work. Training works best as part of a broader implementation or consulting engagement — or for organisations that already have a working framework and just need their people to use it better.

How much does OKR support from The OKR Hub typically cost?

Engagements are scoped individually — there is no fixed price list, because a 20-person company starting OKRs for the first time requires a very different engagement to a 500-person organisation redesigning a broken practice. Individual coaching starts at £99 for a 60-minute session. For implementation and consulting, the best starting point is a free 30-minute discovery call where we can give you an honest scope and cost estimate.

Do you work with organisations that are not yet using OKRs?

Yes — and this is the most common starting point. Most organisations come to us before they have launched OKRs, or having tried and stopped after a difficult first cycle. The OKR Implementation service is specifically designed for this starting point. If you are earlier than that — still choosing between strategic frameworks — OKR Consulting covers that conversation too.

What size of organisation do you work with?

We have worked with organisations from around 10 people to several thousand — from 10-person agencies to large financial services and media organisations. There is no minimum size. The framework, cascade model and governance design are always adapted to your specific structure — we do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach.

Not sure which service is right for you?

Book a free 30-minute consultation. We will ask about where you are, what you have already tried, and what you are trying to achieve — and give you an honest recommendation on the right starting point.
