No one has a crystal ball to tell us what 2023 has in store. One thing is for certain, it won’t be the year to leave room for strategic shortfalls. More than ever, leaders are going all out to seal the strategy to execution gap. But many are stilling spinning their wheels on how to truly achieve this:
- 61% say that their firms often struggle to bridge the gap between strategy formulation and its day-to-day implementation
- Only 2% of leaders are confident that they will achieve 80-100% of their strategic objectives
- Nearly half say one of the core reasons strategic initiatives succeed is skilled implementation.
Join Alex Bartholomaus, CEO of People Stretch Solutions and Ben Meadema, VP of Revenue Operations at K12 Insight in a discussion around how to use, and get the most out of the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework. They’ll cover a specific layer of strategy and tactics that help organizations overcome age-old strategic challenges.

About OKRs
Objectives and key results (OKRs) is a goal setting framework used by growth-oriented organizations to define measurable goals and track their outcomes. Organizations like Google and Intel have used OKRs for years to help them achieve and maintain market dominance.
OKRs provide individuals, teams, and organizations with a holistic view of the mission and vision, while encouraging communication around shared objectives. In a nutshell, a properly planned, implemented, and tracked implementation of OKRs closes the gap between strategy and execution.
We'll discuss...
- The benefits of OKRs and results our mid-market clients have achieved.
- Learning points from our many OKR engagements that help companies avoid pitfalls and obstacles to close the execution gap.
- A specific layer of strategy and tactics that help ensure that OKRs continue to drive strategic success
