Challenge
From Fragmented Efforts to Unified Execution
Gruppo Sella, Italy’s largest private banking group, faced a major challenge: turning long-term strategy into operational reality across 5,000+ employees, 300+ branches, and seven countries.
Initially, OKRs were tracked in spreadsheets—inefficient, siloed, and lacking transparency. To effectively scale the initiative, they needed to:
- Replace manual tracking with a robust, user-friendly OKR platform
- Empower teams to align vertically and horizontally on strategic priorities
- Establish a transparent culture of accountability and execution
“We researched other tools, but none offered the comprehensive OKR management capabilities that WorkBoard does.” — Stefano Corradino, Head of Group PMO, Gruppo Sella
The Solution: Empowering Coaches and Scaling with Confidence
Gruppo Sella partnered with Wave Nine and adopted WorkBoard to scale OKRs company-wide. Wave Nine provided structured onboarding, trained internal OKR mentors, and helped tailor WorkBoard to fit the group’s strategic rhythm.
With 1,000+ active users and 87% OKR adoption, the company achieved:
- Cross-functional and executive alignment on strategic initiatives
- Transparent progress tracking with real-time dashboards and scorecards
- Efficient business reviews and data-driven decision-making
- AI-powered OKR drafting through WorkBoard’s Co-Author feature
- A strong internal coaching community to support ongoing growth
“We now have a clear view of how all the moving parts are driving us toward our business objectives—and we’re executing more efficiently as a result.” — Stefano Corradino, Head of Group PMO, Gruppo Sella
