OKR consulting in Zurich
OKR consulting in Zurich: clear priorities, measurable results
If you already run a solid planning and budget process, OKRs do not replace it. They add the layer on top: the few things that must move this quarter. We help your leadership team choose 3–5 must-win battles and turn them into OKRs with owners. On site across Switzerland, in English or German.
What you get
How we work
OKRs on top of your planning, not instead of it
Four steps that connect your strategy with the work of the next quarter. Budgets and long-term plans stay where they are; OKRs make the priorities explicit and measurable.
Step 1 · Strategy
3–5 must-win battles
A workshop with your leadership team: a shared view of today, success in one, two and three years, and the few battles that close the gap. The strategy workshop →
Step 2 · Company OKRs
Battles become OKRs
Each battle turns into an Objective with two to four measurable Key Results, a baseline, a target and one owner.
Step 3 · Team OKRs
Teams take ownership
Teams draft their own OKRs against the company set. One alignment session clears overlaps, gaps and dependencies.
Step 4 · Rhythm
The quarter holds
Weekly check-ins, a mid-quarter review, an end-of-quarter review and the next planning. We facilitate the first two cycles, then your team takes over.
Where to start
Three ways to start with OKRs in Zurich
From a two-day strategy workshop to a full introduction over two quarters. We tailor the agenda to your team in a prep session.
OKR strategy workshop
Two days on site. Day one sets the direction and the must-win battles, day two writes the company OKRs. See the two-day format →
Rapid strategy workshop
The same logic in four sessions of three hours, remote or on site, for teams that cannot leave for two days. See the four sessions →
OKR introduction over two cycles
Strategy, company OKRs, team OKRs and the quarterly rhythm, with us in the room until your people run it on their own. Talk to us →
Zurich and Switzerland
OKR consulting in Zurich, Basel and Bern
We come to your office or an offsite venue in Switzerland and work in English or German. Check-ins and reviews can run online, so the effort for your team stays small between the on-site sessions.
Alongside your budget
We link Key Results to the numbers you already plan with, so OKRs add focus instead of a second reporting system.
Regional headquarters
Group targets and local priorities in one set of OKRs, so teams know which goals they own and which they support.
Family-owned companies
Long-term thinking meets quarterly focus. OKRs make the next step towards the long-term goal visible and measurable.

Questions
Questions about OKR consulting in Zurich
What does an OKR consultant do?
We help your leadership team agree on what matters most, write measurable Objectives and Key Results for it and set up the rhythm that keeps them alive. We facilitate the key sessions and coach the people who run OKRs after us.
How do OKRs fit with our budget and planning cycle?
The budget sets the frame for the year; OKRs set the focus for the quarter. We align the first OKR cycle with your planning calendar and use your existing figures as baselines.
Do you work on site in Zurich?
Yes. We are based in Hamburg and work on site in Zurich and across Switzerland.
In which language do you work?
In English or German, whichever your team works in.
How long does an OKR introduction take?
Plan for two quarters. The first covers strategy, company OKRs and team OKRs; the second makes the rhythm stick.
What does OKR consulting cost?
It depends on the size of your team and the format. After a 30-minute call you receive a written proposal with a clear scope.
OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. The three horizons of growth go back to Baghai, Coley and White (The Alchemy of Growth, 1999). 3 Horizons is a registered trade mark of third parties in the EU and the UK; Stryke Consulting is not affiliated with them, with the authors or with McKinsey & Company.
