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
