What it takes to be successful with OKR
Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.
06/16/21 • 31 min
The OKR framework is designed to set organizations up for success. Yet many organizations that adopt OKR see little to no benefit of working with the framework. Why is that?
Well, a lot of these organizations use what Felipe Castro calls the "Tinkerbell approach to OKR" — they simply continue working the same way they did before and just sprinkle some "OKR" pixie dust over it. That might work if you're lucky, but in most cases it won't.
OKR calls for a fundamental shift in how you approach work and has a few key areas that need attention in order for it to be a huge success. We spoke to OKR trainer and consultant, Felipe Castro, on what it takes to be successful with OKR.
During this episode we'll discuss the 3 things you need to be successful with OKR:
- Commitment to OKR from senior leadership
- How to use OKR in practice
- Unlearn old models
Tune in to get a deep dive on what you need to do to make your OKR program a massive success. Learn from the experts!

Books discussed during the episode:
- 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. Covey
- Unlearn by Barry O'Reilly
- Scrum: Twice the work in half the time by Jeff Sutherland

Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.
09/30/22 • 23 min
Every organization strives to have teams that perform well. However, the process of designing such high-performing teams and creating an environment in which people can thrive, is often an overlooked process. Why is that the case? Aren't people your most important resource after all?
So, what are high-performing, empowered teams? And, how can you create such a work environment with the help of OKR? We spoke to Christina Wodtke, ex-OKR consultant, and author of Radical Focus and The team that managed itself, about:
- What the meaning of an empowered team is?
- What does it mean to consciously design and maintain a high-performing empowered team?
- How do you design such a team?
- What do organizations get wrong when designing their teams?
- What role do goals (eg. OKRs) play in the empowerment of teams?
- And what is the process of goal grading in such teams?

Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.
02/28/22 • 16 min
Ever wondered if there is a "right time" to get started with OKR? Some may say it's best to start early — ingraining the framework within the organization from the start. Others may say it's only really needed when you have robust processes in place. Curious to hear what we think works best?
Having recently shifted from the startup to the scaleup phase, we spoke to Jesse Staats, CEO of The Linq Group, about his experience working with OKR and his thoughts on when organizations should start working with the framework. We also cover the following topics:
- Why The Linq Group started working with OKR
- Their shift from the startup to scaleup phase, and what classifies an org as a "scaleup"
- How OKR has supported their growth

Combining OKR and company culture
Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.
09/24/21 • 19 min
OKR is often mistaken — it's seen as a rigid framework with rules that need to be followed to a T to ensure its success. That's far from the truth.
The OKR framework provides best practices that are tried and tested, however, beyond that, it's how you integrate it within your company culture and how you operate as an organization that ensures its success.
In this episode, we're speaking with a special guest, Ben Stilwill from Streamline Health. Ben will provide you with a window into how his organization's OKR program and how they've integrated OKR within their cultural DNA, by combining it with other engrained cultural elements — their One-Page Strategic Plan & Clifton Strengths personality assessment by Gallup.
During this episode we'll discuss:
- How Streamline Health got started with OKR and their experience so far
- How they've integrated OKR within their cultural blueprint
- A deep-dive on Clifton Strengths and their One-Page Strategic Plan
- How they maintain a healthy OKR program
- OKR advice and best practices

Cascading OKRs: rigid vs. directional
Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.
08/18/21 • 16 min
If you've read "Measure What Matters" you've probably come across the term cascading OKRs. Typically, when you think of cascading OKRs, top-down rigid cascading is what comes to mind.
In an ideal world, rigid cascading seems logical — it gives an impression that an entire organization is pulling in the same direction. In reality organizations are slightly more complex and require multi-directional goal setting.
Top-down cascading is a reflection of traditional command and control. Therefore, there's a good reason why many softwares and consultants discourage top-down cascading of goals.
So what is cascading OKRs all about? We spoke to Peter Kappus, an OKR consultant, about:
- The definition of cascading OKRs
- Why organizations should avoid rigid top-down cascading?
- What should organizations be focusing on instead?
- Rigid vs. directional cascading
