OKR CONSULTING SERVICE

OKR Consulting that ends with you owning the program

Most OKR consultants deliver a workshop, a deck, and an invoice, then leave the rollout to you. We do the opposite. From diagnostic to first cycle to hand-off, we build a program your team keeps running long after the engagement closes.

End-to-end implementation Knowledge transfer first

Consulting that leaves you with a working program, not a deck

The standard OKR consulting engagement looks like this: an offsite, a framework slide deck, a couple of templates, then radio silence. Three months later, the program is either ignored or running on the energy of one stubborn internal champion who eventually burns out.

Our engagement model is built around hand-off from day one. Every artifact we design, your team co-owns. Every decision we make, we document. Every cycle we run, we coach an internal owner to run the next one. The success metric for us is whether you can run cycle two without us in the room.

OKR consulting engagement: building an implementation program with the client team

Consulting fits when you need to build or rebuild the program itself

These are the four scenarios where consulting is the right entry point. Coaching strengthens an existing practice; consulting builds the practice in the first place.

You are launching OKRs for the first time. The leadership team has decided to adopt the framework but nobody knows what an actual rollout looks like end to end.

A previous OKR attempt fell apart. The framework wasn't the problem, but the program lost momentum mid-cycle, and now there is internal scepticism to overcome on top of building the practice again.

You operate across multiple business units or geographies. A single-team OKR rollout works in a startup, but at scale the cascade design, governance, and cross-team alignment need real architecture.

The strategy is in heads, not in writing. Before OKRs can land, the strategy itself needs to be made legible and decomposable into Objectives. Strategy mapping comes first.

If your OKRs already exist and the issue is the practice around them, consulting isn't the right service. Start with OKR Coaching, which strengthens an existing program.

How teams engage our consultants

Every engagement is custom-scoped, but most fall into one of four patterns below. Pick the one that sounds closest to where you are and the discovery call will refine it.

Most common

OKR Implementation Consulting

End-to-end implementation of an OKR program: cadence, cascade, scoring rules, governance, tooling, and the first two cycles run with a senior consultant alongside your team. Most engagements that start as "we need an OKR consultant" land here.

3 to 6 months Whole org
Executive-level

OKR Strategy Consulting

For when the strategy itself needs to be made legible before OKRs can be built around it. We work with the leadership team to surface strategic priorities, map them to outcomes, and translate those outcomes into a coherent set of company-level Objectives.

6 to 10 weeks C-suite engagement
Recovery

OKR Program Rescue

For companies whose first OKR attempt collapsed mid-cycle and now have to overcome internal scepticism on top of rebuilding the practice. We diagnose what failed in the previous attempt, rebuild the program with that learning baked in, and re-launch with a clean reset.

4 to 6 months Includes change management
Enterprise

Multi-Business-Unit Rollout Consulting

Phased OKR deployment across multiple business units, geographies, or product lines. Cascade architecture, governance design, and cross-BU alignment built for scale, not just for the pilot team. Typical engagements run 9 to 18 months across two to four phases.

9 to 18 months Phased deployment

Diagnose, Design, Deploy, Hand-off

Every consulting engagement runs through the same four stages. The depth changes with scope; the structure is constant.

Diagnose

We map the current state: leadership goals, decision-making patterns, existing planning rituals, and what has been tried before. If a previous OKR attempt exists, we autopsy it.

Design

Together with your leadership, we co-design the OKR model: cadence, cascade depth, scoring rules, governance, review structure. Every decision is documented so the program is reproducible without us.

Deploy

Teams write their first OKRs with live consultant guidance. The platform goes live. The first cycle runs with check-ins, scoring reviews, and an end-of-cycle retrospective, all coached in real time.

Hand-off

By cycle two, your internal program owner runs the cadence and we are on standby. By engagement end, the program runs without us. This is the success metric, not the slide count.

Four reasons companies pick us over generic OKR consultants

We are practitioners first, deck-makers never. Every model we design has been pressure-tested across real rollouts in real organisations, and every engagement is led by a consultant who has owned an implementation end to end before.

Implementation-led, not deck-led

Knowledge transfer as the success metric

Frequently Asked Questions

How is consulting different from coaching?

Consulting builds the OKR program from scratch: cadence, cascading, scoring rules, governance, and live coaching of the first two cycles. Coaching strengthens an OKR practice that already runs. If you have never deployed OKRs, or your previous attempt fell apart, consulting is the right starting point.

How long does a typical OKR implementation take?

Most OKR Implementation Consulting engagements run 3 to 6 months. That includes setup, live coaching through the first OKR cycle, and knowledge transfer to an internal program owner. Multi-business-unit rollouts run 9 to 18 months across two to four phases. Strategy Consulting is shorter at 6 to 10 weeks.

Our previous OKR attempt failed. What do you do differently?

Program Rescue engagements are designed precisely for this. We diagnose what collapsed in the previous attempt (usually not the framework itself but the practice around it), bake that learning into the new design, and re-launch with a change-management layer that addresses internal scepticism alongside rebuilding the practice.

Do we have to use the Devokr platform?

No. The methodology runs platform-agnostic and we respect existing tooling choices. Honestly though: a consultant who sees your live OKR data spots issues faster than one reading written status reports. Most clients adopt Devokr because of that, not because of any requirement.

Can you work across multiple business units or countries?

Yes. Our multi-BU rollout consulting has covered programs spanning up to five business units and multiple geographies. Cascade architecture, governance design, and cross-BU alignment are built for scale, not just the pilot team. Phased deployment is the default approach.

How is pricing and scope decided?

Engagements are custom-priced by company size, scope, and duration. After the free 30-minute discovery call, we send a tailored proposal within two business days. There is no standard list price because every organisation's rollout complexity is different.
