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, OKR coach and co-founder of IN EXCELSIS, 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

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, 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

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, founder and CEO of 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
