Most OKR tools track goals. StrategyWorks connects them - linking every Objective directly to the programmes, projects, and initiatives that are meant to move the needle. Real-time visibility, from board to delivery team.
Every quarter, organisations set OKRs with the best intentions. But once written, they sit in a separate system - disconnected from the actual projects, initiatives, and teams doing the work. The OKR says "reduce churn to 2%." The delivery portfolio has no idea that is the priority.
The result: effort is misaligned, blockers go unnoticed until it is too late, and the quarterly retrospective becomes a post-mortem instead of a celebration. StrategyWorks closes the gap.
Cascade OKRs from company level down to every team and business unit. See at a glance whether team objectives support the company strategy - or contradict it.
Link each Key Result to the programmes and projects that deliver it. If a project slips, the impacted OKR automatically flags as at-risk - before it's too late to act.
Weekly progress updates with confidence scores, blocker flags, and trend indicators - all in one view. No chasing for updates; no surprises at quarter-end.
Board-ready views that aggregate OKR progress across the whole organisation - with drill-down to any team, department, or Key Result in two clicks.
Dependencies between teams are explicit and tracked. When one team's OKR relies on another's delivery, both are notified and the dependency is monitored automatically.
Built-in scoring (0.0–1.0) with retrospective templates that capture lessons learned and feed directly into the next quarter's OKR cycle.
StrategyWorks sits above your existing tools. You set OKRs at company and team level, then link each Key Result to the initiatives and projects in your delivery portfolio. The platform tracks progress automatically - surfacing what is on track, what is at risk, and where effort is misaligned.

Most OKR software tools do broadly the same thing: they let you write objectives, add key results, and update progress. The real differences emerge when you ask three questions.
Does it connect to delivery? An OKR sitting in isolation is just a goal with a number. OKR software that connects to the programmes and projects delivering the objective gives you a real-time view of whether the work is moving the needle. Most tools do not do this. StrategyWorks does.
Does it scale without per-seat fees? OKR software that charges per seat penalises adoption. If the finance team, the board, and the delivery teams all need to see the OKRs, the cost scales with every user. StrategyWorks has no per-seat fees on any plan, ever. Unlimited users on every tier.
Does it support the governance layer? OKRs do not exist in isolation from risk, finance, and accountability. The right OKR software supports risk registers, RACI accountability, financial tracking, and milestone management. Not as bolt-ons, but as part of the same connected hierarchy.
StrategyWorks OKR is free forever for qualifying organisations. Unlimited users. No trial period. No credit card required. When you are ready to connect delivery, the Platform tier is £35 per initiative per month.
