Hands work to the rhythm of organizations

I was a guest of Petri Toikkanen on the Suoraa puhetta järjestöistä – podcast, talking about strategy implementation from an organisational and charity perspective. A recording of our session can be found on YouTube.

The OKR model in the third sector world?

Because of its simple theory, the OKR model is quite adaptable to different environments. It is suitable for large companies, sole proprietorships and management of a university of applied sciences. The third sector is no exception, although the principles of management are different with a volunteer.

Petri and I went through many of the essential issues. Petri put a curve ball in my direction on at least the following issues:

  • What is OKR? Why is it useful?
  • What could the OKR offer for third sector organisations?
  • Is the OKR model as suitable for organisations as it is for businesses?
  • How should the OKR model be reflected at different levels of the organisation, such as the board, employees and volunteers?
  • What does the OKR expert want from the strategist?
    What is difficult about the OKR model?
    What does it take to come up with key results?
