Wondering if your strategy is healthy?

Or, if you’re doing OKRs “right?”

Stop guessing and spinning your wheels.

Get empirical clarity and a practical path forward with a No-BS Strategy and OKR Health Check.

You've developed the strategy. You've got ambitious goals (maybe even OKRs). And the reality? The gap between your vision and actual day-to-day execution is wider than you'd like.

You might be wondering:

  • If your strategic planning is actually driving meaningful change or just creating busy work?

  • Whether your measurement approach (OKRs or otherwise) is giving you real insights or false confidence?

  • How to create clear metrics when you don't have robust data today?

  • How to get people to move beyond activity-thinking and focus on measurable outcomes?

Through this focused, personalized audit, you'll gain empirical clarity on where your organization stands and what needs to change to maximize your OKR success.

Risk reduction strategies to avoid common pitfalls

This package is perfect for:

CEOs and Senior Leaders

Who want to increase focus, alignment, and measurable progress toward strategic goals.

Strategy Leaders and Executives

Who need to ensure OKRs drive real organizational change and measurable results.

HR/People/Operations Leaders

Who have been tasked with implementing or improving OKRs across the organization.

When you provide whatever strategy and OKRs you’re using today, we'll review and provide feedback on their effectiveness.

If you're using other goal-setting approaches, we'll assess their strategic alignment and provide recommendations to strengthen your measurement system.

If you're struggling with strategy execution regardless of methodology, we'll identify the specific gaps and provide a practical path forward.

What Leaders Say After Working With Sara

  • "If you've grown frustrated or intimidated by OKRs, working with Sara is exactly what you need. I gained tremendous clarity on my team's priorities, started taking action after our first session, and even had fun!"

    - Michelle Vittus, Founder & CEO

  • "It was so refreshing to not manage the process and to trust that you were driving to an outcome. This allowed me to noodle on and answer your questions more thoughtfully. You did an excellent job of creating a sense of space and time--it never felt rushed, and I felt like we could go on (relevant) tangents--and refocusing the discussion when necessary. My only complaint is that I would have loved to have a reason to keep working with you."

How the methods you’ll experience in this transformation experience are different:

The Strategy Health Check brings together my expertise as both a strategic advisor and OKR Master Coach. After working with 2,000+ leaders and coaches across 300+ global organizations, I've developed a proven model to assess strategic health and create clear paths to measurable results.

These practices are:

  • Empirically grounded. Drawing from extensive implementation data and proven success patterns, this audit delivers quantifiable insights about where your organization stands and what needs to change to maximize OKR success.

  • Context-specific, not cookie-cutter. My multidisciplinary background in strategic implementation means I can assess your unique organizational context, culture, and goals. Your recommendations will be tailored to your specific situation – never generic best practices or theoretical frameworks.

  • Immediately actionable. Beyond just assessment, you'll receive concrete next steps and a clear implementation roadmap. Walk away with practical tools and frameworks you can implement immediately to improve your OKR effectiveness.

With this focused approach, you'll not only understand where you stand but have a clear, data-driven path forward to OKR success.

Move beyond guessing if your OKR implementation is on track. You’ll finish this audit with clarity and a proven roadmap for measurable results.

Get Clear Return on Your Strategy and OKR Investment

The cost of failed strategy execution and OKR implementations extends far beyond wasted time and resources. When organizations get strategy and OKRs wrong, they often spend 6-12 months spinning their wheels, waste five or six figures in direct costs put toward consultants and OKR software and services, and lose incalculable momentum on strategic initiatives.

Even worse, failed implementations often damage team trust and make future strategic change initiatives even more difficult.

Getting strategic execution right from the start transforms this equation:

  • Avoid common implementation pitfalls that waste resources

  • Start seeing measurable progress within the first quarter

  • Build momentum that accelerates strategic execution

  • Create a foundation for sustained organizational alignment

  • Develop clear metrics that prove strategic impact

This focused health check helps you identify exactly what you need for successful strategy execution, cutting through the complexity to focus your investment where it matters most. Whether you're using OKRs or another approach, don't risk months of wasted effort – get empirical clarity on your path to strategic success.

The Real Costs of Getting Strategic Execution Wrong:

  • Multiple quarters of lost strategic momentum

  • Five and six-figure spends in direct implementation costs

  • Damaged team trust and engagement

  • Increased resistance to future strategic change initiatives

Frequently-Asked Questions

about the No-BS Strategy Health Check and OKRs Audit

  • The Strategy Health Check focuses specifically on assessing your organization's current execution capabilities and providing a practical roadmap for improvement. It's not theoretical strategy development or ongoing consulting—it's a focused assessment to give you clarity on exactly what next steps will accelerate your strategic results. We look at what's working, what's not, and provide specific actions to close the gap between your strategic vision and day-to-day execution.

  • Absolutely. While I have deep expertise in OKRs, the Strategy Health Check evaluates your overall strategic execution approach, whatever framework you're using. If you're struggling with translating strategy into action, measuring what matters, or driving organizational alignment, this assessment will deliver value. If OKRs might be beneficial for your situation, I'll highlight that as a potential solution, but never as a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

  • Once you book your health check, you'll receive a questionnaire to complete that helps focus our discussion and ensures your specific questions are addressed. No strategic planning expertise is required—I'll guide you through the assessment process. You'll need to share your current strategic plans, goal frameworks, and any measurement systems you're using, but I'll help you identify what's most relevant to include.

  • You can self-reschedule via our booking calendar, or reach out for help if you need to reschedule a session.

  • This is exactly where the Strategy Health Check delivers the most value. I'll assess the gap between your strategic plans and actual implementation, identify specific barriers to execution, and provide a practical roadmap to transform your strategy from documents into measurable results.

  • No, this assessment focuses on evaluating your current strategic approach and providing a roadmap for improvement. It includes everything you need to strengthen your strategic execution, but doesn't include the actual creation of strategic plans or OKRs. If you'd like support with strategy creation and implementation, please reach out about an expanded engagement.

  • This health check requires more than a day of my time to prepare and deliver, and my regular day rate is $10k/day; so this service is provided at a discount. More importantly, the implementation guidance you'll receive here was formerly only available with a $40k+ consulting engagement. The ROI comes from preventing failed implementations, accelerating results, and giving you clarity that would otherwise take months of trial and error to achieve.
