Running an OKR proof of concept (with the City of Quebec)

Goal Diggers: OKR, KPIs, strategy, and people management.

OKR is essentially change management. Therefore, to ensure that OKR is the right framework for a large organization, they typically choose to run an OKR proof of concept (POC) with a department or team first.

We spoke to Jean-Luc Koning, OKR coach and co-founder of IN EXCELSIS, who ran the OKR POC with the IT team at The City of Quebec, the capital of the Canadian province of Quebec. After all, a city (governmental organization) is an organization, with similar concerns as any other organization. In this podcast Jean-Luc explains:

• Why the City of Quebec decided to run an OKR POC in the first place
• How their POC was set up
• What their expectations of the POC was
• What approach he took with their IT team
• The ideal length for an OKR POC
• Who exactly was involved in this OKR POC
• What processes were deliberately left out
• What feedback teams and team leads had regarding the POC
• Based on his learnings, what he would do differently in the next POC
• What success factors are needed for running a successful OKR proof of concept
• And, what the current status is of the City of Quebec after the POC
