The best companies use OKR to turn strategy into measurable outcomes every quarter.
OKR stands for Objectives and Key Results. It turns strategy into a small set of measurable goals the team can see and chase week by week. Google adopted OKR in 1999. It became the system that took them from 40 people to over 100,000 without losing focus on what mattered.
Most teams set goals once a quarter, then never look at them again. OKR is the operating rhythm that fixes that. We'll show you how.
The OKR Quickstart team has led 300+ rollouts at companies from 50-person scale-ups to 40,000-person enterprises across APAC, Europe and the USA. We've seen what works, what fails, and what the textbooks miss. We can help you transform how you set goals, and the results your team is actually able to ship.

What is OKR Quickstart?
OKR Quickstart is an OKR consulting and coaching firm founded by Tim Newbold. We help leadership teams design, launch and embed OKR (Objectives and Key Results) in their business, typically getting a team into its first full cycle within 4 to 6 weeks.
How long does it take to implement OKR with you?
Most teams are running their first proper OKR cycle within 4 to 6 weeks. A full multi-team rollout, including champion network, training, and operating rhythm, typically takes one to two quarters end to end.
Who is OKR Quickstart for?
Founders and executives who want to accelerate their teams toward real growth, not just keep them busy. We work with leaders running ambitious plans where the work is moving but the strategy is stalling. The Quickstart method puts a strategic execution rhythm in place: a small set of goals, a weekly check-in, and a quarter that ends with measurable change. From 10-person product teams to enterprise divisions across SaaS, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, manufacturing and the public sector.
Do you offer free OKR resources?
Yes. The OKR Cheatsheet, a free introductory team OKR course, and 160+ articles on writing better objectives are all free.
How is OKR Quickstart different from other OKR consultancies?
We focus on getting OKR working in the room, not on theory. The Quickstart method has been refined across 300+ rollouts in 10+ years. Every stage is built around what teams actually need to land OKR, not a textbook recipe. We also guarantee a clear next step from the first 15-minute strategy call, free.
Where is OKR Quickstart based?
We work from Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, and run engagements remotely across Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Asia.
