Leading with OKRs
Leadership
At Evangelische Bank, leadership teams are empowered to use Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) to guide their teams effectively and shape the organization’s strategic direction.
The focus is on promoting agile, self-directed working while strengthening psychological safety and resilience within teams.
The Assignment
With more than 400 employees, Evangelische Bank introduced OKRs to foster greater ownership and agility across teams. The goal was to enable leaders to support self-organized working environments and align teams with strategic goals through targeted training.
The training aimed to equip leaders with the tools to guide their teams more effectively, leverage agile processes, and contribute to a resilient and empowering organizational culture.
Our Approach
Interactive Leadership Training
An intensive, one-day in-person training provides executives with practical knowledge about OKRs. The focus is not only on the methodology itself but primarily on how to apply it within their own organization.
Connecting OKR with Organizational Processes
The training explored how OKRs can be embedded in existing structures. Leaders learned how to support their teams both strategically and operationally, maximizing the impact of the OKR methodology.
Fostering a Learning Culture
A strong emphasis was placed on creating a framework that encourages ownership and ongoing development. Topics such as psychological safety and resilience formed essential pillars of the training.
Sustainable Integration through Coaching
In addition to knowledge transfer, coaching measures support the sustainable use of OKRs in day-to-day leadership. This ensures the long-term anchoring of the principles and continuous development.
The Result
Leaders are now equipped to implement OKRs effectively and guide their teams toward greater self-responsibility and agility.
A network of internal multipliers is growing, creating the foundation for a learning organization with high adaptive capacity.
OKR becomes more than a method – it’s a mindset that helps organizations become more resilient, adaptive, and successful. This training sets the foundation.
