OKR Solution –
How Kiwibank achieved better business performance with strategy execution implemented by Wave Nine
Wave Nine worked with Kiwibank’s executives to gain buy-in and shape strategic OKRs from the beginning. They also trained over 200 employees, including internal coaches who instill an OKR focus and culture throughout the organization.
Rethink and reformulate their OKRs
Expand OKR implementation in a consistent way
Embed OKR thinking into the day-to-day lives of employees
Create a strong team of internal coaches
Integrate great OKRs into your operating rhythm with a custom end-to-end program solution for your teams.
Highly Customized Implementation
No one-size-fits-all OKR blueprint, but customized training for your tailored strategy execution rhythm.
Hands-on Workshops
Experienced leadership coaches will make sure you’re setting high quality OKRs in lean workshops right in the first quarter.
Scaled Communities of Practice
Practical enablement for communities of coaches to drive strategy success not only through OKR-setting but driving key habits during the quarter.
Truly dedicated program team
You will work with the same team during the whole implementation – these people will get to know your business, culture and habits and drive success with you.
Listen to what our clients say
Andrew Huxter
Wave Nine really helped us understand the “real-world” potential of OKRs and enabled us to build and embed them successfully into the commercial organisation. The insights they shared in leading us through the cycle has really driven a change in how we prioritise and enabled us to establish a very productive new operating rhythm.
Jeff Rachlin
Wave Nine helped us come together as a team to create a shared set of goals, objectives, and key results. Embedding their experts into our teams has accelerated the OKR rollout throughout the organization and we have achieved greater focus and results. We really appreciate the support of Wave Nine and would recommend them to organizations looking to kick start their OKR initiatives.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole Wave Nine team for their great efforts and support. You have been brilliant throughout; we couldn't have asked for more from you.
Craig Snaguski
When we first tried implementing OKRs, we worked with another firm, but they didn’t have anywhere near the same level of engagement that Wave Nine would show.
In the end, we got so much more from Wave Nine's expertise that it turned into a continuous engagement.
Larry Sanford
I was impressed by the Wave Nine team’s engagement from the start. They were highly responsive and they worked to understand our business. They came to serve as an extension of our company, making sure we were doing everything right as we streamlined our implementation.
Nick Sullivan
What Kiwibank really enjoyed was that with Wave Nine, OKRs are such an intuitive system that makes you live and breathe OKRs, rather than just setting and forgetting OKRs.
