Running an OKR proof of concept (with the City of Quebec)
OKR is essentially change management. Therefore, to ensure that OKR is the right framework for a large organization, they typically choose to run an OKR proof of concept (POC) with a department or team first.
We spoke to Jean-Luc Koning (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeanluckoning/), OKR coach and co-founder of IN EXCELSIS (https://www.inxl.fr/installation-okr/), who ran the OKR POC with the IT team at The City of Quebec, the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. After all, a city (governmental organization) is an organization, with similar concerns as any other organization. In this podcast Jean-Luc explains:
Why the City of Quebec decided to run an OKR POC in the first place
How their POC was set up
What their expectations of the POC was
What approach he took with their IT team
The ideal length for an OKR POC
Who exactly was involved in this OKR POC
What processes were deliberately left out
What feedback teams and team leads had regarding the POC
Based on his learnings, what he would do differently in the next POC
What success factors are needed for running a successful OKR proof of concept
And, what the current status is of the City of Quebec after the POC

Your business is a machine: how to design, build, and run it successfully
Let's assume your business is a machine. There are different activities and processes your machine goes through in order for it to be fully functional and successful. Those activities include designing, building, and running the machine. But what does that truly mean for your business?
We spoke to Richard Russell (https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardarussell/), an OKR and Leadership Coach, about his analogy: your business is a machine. In this episode, we'll:
Walk you through the analogy
Discuss what each activity — design, build, and run — entails
How people fit into these processes
What role OKRs and KPIs play in these activities
Share how and when you should move from one activity to another
Explain how to balance efforts between each activity
Provide best practices for successfully designing, building, and running your business

Third time's a charm: Why an unsuccessful OKR implementation doesn’t mean failure with OKR
OKR is an iterative process — it's essentially change management. The truth is that you may not succeed when implementing OKR for the first time, maybe not even the second time. And that's fine. OKR is a flexible and forgiving framework. Once you've mastered it, it will positively impact how you operate as a business. So don't give up just yet!
We spoke to Vlad Filippov (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vladfv/), founder and CEO of Spark Equation (https://www.linkedin.com/company/spark-equation/), about his experience implementing and working with OKR. His first two attempts at implementing OKR didn't run as smoothly as planned. But each time he acquired learnings until he knew exactly what his organization needed to be successful with OKR. We talk about:
How and when he knew his business needed a framework like OKR
What he learned during his implementations
How he finally became successful with OKR
How he finally implemented OKR to everyone
What changes he has seen in his organization now that they're successfully working with OKR
What tools he uses to manage all moving parts of his business
