NEEDS
Create alignment between group companies and generate collaboration and sharing of best practices.
GOAL
To support its success and to consolidate a newly formed group, Allcore decided to use the OKR goal setting framework.
ACTIVITIES
results
The results achieved by the Allcore Group were judged to be excellent, both in qualitative and quantitative terms, by company management.
The strong buy-in of key stakeholders (CEO, Head of Growth and Group CFO) allowed for a rapid spread of the methodology within the Group and this enabled each Legal Entity to exceed its targets from the first introduction of the framework.
Alignment between companies and group priorities has grown, more new products have been launched and the group as a whole has acquired the ability to find innovative solutions when the target is at risk. In short: OKRs have significantly increased the agility of the entire group and the ability to focus on generating value.
The Allcore case is an example of a successful implementation of OKRs in highly structured companies and shows how even high-growth companies can benefit from the framework to sustain and further boost already excellent performance.
The Allcore group has grown at an exponential rate since the founding of Tax Solution.
We adopted OKR precisely to support and nurture, even more, this growth. We chose Redlab to concretely implement the framework, throughout the Group, because we wanted a partner that would not only provide us with know-how and training, but also guide us in the adoption and practical application of the method.
The project presented significant challenges due to the heterogeneity of the companies that make up
Allcore, their cultural, business and operational peculiarities. The adaptive and progress-oriented approach, rather than the mere enunciation of prescriptive principles, favoured the gradual propagation of the methodology within the different realities that make up our Group.
The additional factor contributing to the success was Redlab's guidance and management of the adoption process, which enabled the method to be integrated into existing working practices without disrupting daily operations.
Thanks to this approach, the OKR framework is fostering a strong alignment, and focus of teams, on the results to be achieved, stimulating them to devise initiatives to achieve goals, fostering internal communication between team members and cross-functional collaboration.
Undoubtedly, OKRs, if applied well, are a strong catalyst that fosters growth.
