Instead, management should create an understanding among employees in advance. To do this, it is necessary to develop an internal communication strategy. For the OKR method to be implemented sustainably in the company, the commitment and engagement of all those involved is required. Employees should not have the feeling that they are being monitored by the new method. Instead, they should be given a positive feeling that OKRs help them to work more efficiently and improve performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md snk-textMedia-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-media snk-media_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cplace-interested-job-text-media_P.jpg\" alt=\"OKR Methode - Mitarbeiter daf\u00fcr begeistern\" title=\"cplace-interested-job-text-media_P\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"snk-textMedia snk-textMedia_left snk-section\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textMedia-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textMedia-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPlan with enough time\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>As mentioned earlier, OKR cannot be introduced quickly. It is important that companies give themselves time to implement. Allow at least one year from the start until the method is understood and &#8220;lived&#8221; by everyone in the company. On the one hand, this first year is about training processes. On the other hand, you need enough time to teach and train people. For example, explain how the OKR Weekly works.

It is important to note that OKRs need to be managed and reviewed on a regular basis, so they should not be stored in a document that is quickly created and poorly maintained. Out-of-the-box cloud-based solutions are ideal for companies that want to try things out first. Others, however, choose to purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/toolkit\/objectives-and-key-results-okr\/\">dedicated OKR software<\/a>. Often, companies already have software in place that has been used for other purposes and can be used or upgraded for OKR. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/en\/toolkit\/objectives-and-key-results-okr\/\">Ideally, the software has functions for creating OKRs and visualizing dependencies<\/a>. The cplace software with its associated Objectives and Key Results Solution Template is ideal for this. It contains an information and collaboration hub where companies can clearly communicate their strategic goals and at the same time record the tasks and projects of the teams. cplace also allows the integration with the operational (project) work of the teams, so there is no need to introduce another specialized tool that would lead to another information silo. Common collaboration tools such as Miro are ideal for conducting OKR workshops at the beginning of a new OKR cycle.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md snk-textMedia-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-media snk-media_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/cplace-st-okr-sticky-scrolling-strategy-roadmap.png\" alt=\"OKR - Strategy made transparent\" title=\"OKR - Strategy made transparent\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"snk-textMedia snk-textMedia_left snk-section\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textMedia-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textMedia-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTrain OKR-Champions\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The OKR Champion or OKR Master plays an important role in the OKR method. Depending on the size of the company, there may be several champions or masters. They help to guide the change process and provide guidelines. The OKR Champions provide support in the workshops during the planning phase when writing the OKR sets so that they meet the relevant criteria (see previous chapter). The champs also provide coaching sessions to managers and help them develop their OKR sets. They also moderate the OKR workshops to ensure that discussions run smoothly.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md snk-textMedia-media\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-media snk-media_image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/cplace-Governance1-text-media.jpg\" alt=\"OKR Champions festlegen\" title=\"cplace-Governance1-text-media\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"snk-textMedia snk-textMedia_right snk-section\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row snk-textMedia-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"snk-textMedia-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLaunch a pilot project\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is advisable for the company to start with a pilot project in which the OKR method is used for the first time.
