The document outlines Reddico's objectives, goals, annual targets, assets, and OKRs. It provides an overview of OKRs and their structure at Reddico, including aligning personal goals with company goals. Reddico's OKRs are designed to improve transparency and collaboration. The document then details Reddico's top-level structure for OKRs, including the company roadmap, annual goals, core assets of brand and product, and business values. It provides examples of individual and departmental OKRs across various teams, focusing on metrics like budget increases, efficiency gains, and opportunities to improve Reddico.
4. Aligning people’s personal goals to those of the company, gives more empowerment
What are OKRs?
Reddico’s OKRs are designed to align the team to overall company goals. We want to create a
transparent and open business, where people are working together to achieve shared objectives, whilst
collaborating and helping others in pursuit of their own personal targets.
Reddico’s immediate aims are to stabilise, with a roadmap on what foundations we need to build and
maintain. Meanwhile, our annual targets will put us in a strong position for 2019.
OKRs are built around the following two questions:
1. Where do I want to go?
2. How will I get there?
5. These four areas are really important in ensuring OKRs are adopted and work well
The 4 philosophies of OKRs
OKRs are very different to the traditional way you might set goals and targets, in four simple ways:
1. Ambitious: You shouldn’t set easy goals. Push yourself and see what more you can achieve with
the tough targets that push your potential.
2. Measurable: To be measurable, they need to be qualitative. There can’t be any subjectivity in
whether or not you have hit your objective, or how much of the target you’ve achieved.
3. Transparent: All objectives are visible to the whole team. This increases collaboration and
encourages people to work together in an effort to hit common goals.
4. Performance: OKRs do not affect your performance review. When a monetary incentive is
introduced, the ability to set your own objectives changes.
6. Every OKR should have a top line goal you want to achieve, followed by three measurable targets
Example OKRs
Example 1
Role: Sales Executive: Achieve Exemplary Sales Performance
• Increase sales revenue by X
• Maintain average win ratio of X
• Increase annual subscribers by X
Example 2
Role: Marketing Executive: Drive Revenue Growth
• Acquire X Marketing Qualified Leads
• Contribute X through online sales funnel
• Carry out targeted customer acquisition promotion
“OKRs are not designed as a weapon against your employees. They’re a tool for monitoring and
aligning people to work together. They increase transparency, accountability and empowerment.”
8. This structure ensures OKRs are driven from the top down, keeping everyone aligned

What two assets should make Reddico the standout reason we attract clients and new team

SystemsFunding
24. So, what are Reddico’s core assets?
Why can’t we make these two assets world class? Then the others will follow suit…
Product:
Our products and the people we have in all areas of the business
are the best fit to drive excellent results and create meaningful
campaigns for our clients.
Culture:
Reddico’s culture is about putting people first and creating an
environment where anyone can thrive. We’ve worked hard on this,
but there’s more to do.
26. “Business OKRs are designed to provide opportunities for the whole team to get behind and drive overall
company targets. You will be contributing to the ambitions of Reddico, with objectives that are measurable,
relevant to you, and have a significant impact on clients, the team, and the larger vision.”
All objectives are centred around the company values:
• Build open and honest relationships / Build a positive team spirit
• Embrace and drive change
• Make a real and meaningful impact
• Be passionate, proud and determined
• Pursue growth and learning
The business objectives are tied completely to company values – keeping them forever in focus
Business objectives
27. This value is all about people, whether it’s the team you work with, or the clients you speak to.
Build open and transparent relationships
“The culture of Reddico and how we work is one of our strongest assets. We put the development and
happiness of the team as the highest priority and want to continue encouraging the best talent to join us. This
includes making the office a better place to be, refining our recruitment, and training and developing the
team. However, we also want to build exceptional relationships with our clients. We want to agree
partnerships, develop excellent customer service and ultimately, secure a world-class NPS score.“
This value is dedicated to building better relationships with the people you work with
Build open and transparent relationships
28. This value is about making a difference. How will you set about being different from the norm and driving a
strategy you can be proud of, which clients will love?
Embrace and drive change
“Strategy helps us become better at what we do. As a company we want to drive change, but to do this,
everyone needs to be on board. From having a great set of products, to putting the right marketing strategies
in place, these all help to create a strategy that will drive change across the business. How can we make
Reddico better?”
Driving change through the identification of new strategies and ideas should be constant
Embrace and drive change
29. Having the right strategy in place doesn’t necessarily mean results will follow. You still have to produce the
goods and make an impact on the lives of your team and your clients.
Make a real and meaningful impact
“To make an impact on our team, our clients, and the community around us, is what we want to be known for.
It means a lot to us. However, we can only make an impact if everyone is pulling in the same direction. It’s a
team effort. To do this we need to build out Reddico’s visibility, retain clients through exceptional
performance, develop new tools to retain them, and meet the needs and wants of everyone we come into
contact with. This includes exceeding our SLAs, producing assets to help deliver a better service, and
improving efficiency and productivity.”
How will your efforts make a real impact on you and those around you?
Make a real and meaningful impact
30. Reddico needs to grow to evolve. We want to bring on more talented people to join the team and make
Reddico a known brand throughout the industry. But this needs sustained growth.
Be passionate, proud and determined
“As a company, Reddico can’t continue to grow without money in the bank. We need to be forecasting future
growth, delivering customer service that retains clients, and improving the way we continue to win new
business. Our client NPS score gives an overview on happiness, but we want more referral business, more
client testimonials, a better review of our financial future, and P&Ls for every department. Everyone can help
us to grow and ensure a bright future.”
Growth is vital to a company’s fortunes – everyone can help generate more income
Be passionate, proud and determined
32. Not everything should be tailored to helping Reddico grow. You need your own personal targets and the
opportunity to continue learning and refining the skills you’ve picked up.
Personal Growth target
“Personal growth is very important. It gives you a chance to be better at your job, pursue a career you love
and can be passionate about, whilst also helping to contribute to the wider industry. Whether you choose to
take a course, watch webinars or become involved in public forums, you’re developing yourself professionally
and personally.“
Skill Development target
“Skill development is about becoming better at your job. What skills or tools do you need to deliver work to a
higher standard? What do you need to know to offer extra to our clients, or the team you work with every
day? Find something that will change the way you approach your work, or drive improvement in your ability.“
You should always have personal goals in mind to push and broaden your skills and knowledge
Pursue growth and learning
34. Everyone will have 3 OKRs each quarter. Each OKR is broken down into a top line item (what you want to
achieve) and three metrics to measure success.
For example: Drive more business sales for Reddico
• Have initial conversations with 10 new customers every month
• Improve conversion rates to 70%
• Bring on 5 new clients every month
You will be able to choose two business objectives and one personal growth / skill development objective.
OKRs are chosen by you, but you can ask for help from your Line Manager and the team. You want to ensure
they’re aligned with company targets, and tough enough. You can also have regular catch-ups with your Line
Manager and the team to review progress and identify barriers or blockers.
All OKRs will be visible company-wide to improve transparency and collaboration cross-
department
Structure of individual OKRs
36. Every department and team member can make a real difference to how Reddico operates on a day-to-day
basis. You can also help improve the way we run, the strategies we use, and the output we deliver.
So, how does this work on a department level?
Your OKRs should be tailored to improving Reddico at every level. How can you make a
