Who We Are

The way we enable organizations is by providing simple, systems-based, easy to use tools that work together to deliver a clear view of performance. We customize and deliver them in a comprehensive apprenticeship program that is guaranteed to deliver.

We have completed over 3,000 OKR implementations and Balanced Scorecards for all sectors across the world, since 1991. Our clients’ successes have been profiled in Fortune and Forbes magazines and multiple business textbooks (The Execution Premium, Strategy Focused Organization, Strategy Mapping, )and Harvard Business Review.

The pm2 team is made up of seasoned professionals, including previous senior executives and long-time OKR and scorecard practitioners paired with experienced younger consultants that see things in a new way.

Our long OKR history

Our Beliefs

We have strong beliefs:

  • Every organization can achieve great performance.
  • Within every organization, there are highly motivated people.
  • If people can see what leads to great performance, they will make it happen.
  • “Best practices” are incomplete and complicated.
  • Adults learn by doing.
  • Performance solutions only work if they are owned by the organization, not the consultant.
  • Solutions that are understood and owned by the people in the organization are easy to implement, more sustainable, and rapidly deliver better performance.

Giving Back to the Global Community

We pride ourselves on giving back to communities around the world. In our history, we have helped dozens of non-profit organizations (NFP) that aim to improve our world without any funding for strategy services. Most of our help is with non-profits focused on world peace, environmental sustainability with various smaller NFPs focused on cancer research and healthcare. If your NFP wants to implement OKRs, please reach out to us to see if we have the capacity to help.
