Work With Experienced OKR Consultants to drive accountable adoption and outcomes
From executive alignment to team rollout, Wave Nine OKR consultants help you build OKRs teams actually use, update, and own, then embed the cadence and enablement that turns aspirational goals into achieved outcomes
The proven approach for leaders at:


Making OKRs work needs robust support
Most OKR programs don't deliver on their promises
Executives truggle to communicate strategy, mobilize people, and get visibility on outcomes.
Managers attempt to translate the strategy to teams and coach them, but managing, measuring and reporting takes forever.
Individuals can’t connect their performance with company performance. Skills aren’t built and important outcomes are left in the dust.
Work with Wave Nine to embed OKRs into your organizations with transparency, alignment and accountability
Transparency
Keep a constant pulse on the business and clarify priorities.
The entire organization has visibility into long-term goals and ongoing progress.
Spot risks and bottlenecks early on.
“Within 6 weeks, I’ve had a level of visibility into my organization that I haven’t had in 10 years. I can see the work that’s being done, and how that work is leading to outcomes.”
Alignment
The organization becomes aligned both vertically and horizontally.
Everyone understands how their work impacts the strategy.
Easily identify and track dependencies.
“Obagi is a very ambitious organization. The OKR program put us in the same boat rowing in the same direction. We have achieved a new level of focus as a team.”
Accountability
There’s clear ownership for outcomes and actions.
OKR habits drive ownership in meetings, business reviews and 1:1s.
Everyone is inspired and motivated to do their best work.
Wake up any employee in the middle of the night and ask to identify the company’s priorities and how their work contributes to them. I believe that’s something we achieved.”

Running an OKR process on Excel Sheets is often painful and requires too much administrative work. Alignment, reporting, OKR insights and the tracking of required work is often spread across different systems and transparency can be tricky to manage.
That's why we've been partnering with WorkBoard for over 9 years to provide the best-in-class OKR and strategy execution platform for your customers. Workboard.com is the leading software to create, track, align, report on and achieve ORKs and combines strategy, OKR, meeting, report, and work management to ensure you automatically receive the right OKR insights at the right time, and can spend your time working on the biggest priorities of your business - instead of following up on KR updates and reports manually.
Integrating WorkBoard is an optional offer. We also work with organizations using Excel or Google or other sheets.
“Wave Nine were knowledgeable about the OKR method in general, as well as implementing OKRs through WorkBoard.”
