Hi! I'm Mukom
•••
In 2015, as a frontline manager just like you, I introduced OKRs to my team.
- without my boss’ permission.
- without a consultant or coach.
- without OKR training.
After 30+ cycles, I’ve used OKRs to
- Create an e-learning program used by 4700+ engineers from over 80 countries each month with an NPS of 47.
- Invent & grow the Deployathon, a direct assistance program used by 150+ network operators from 37 countries.
- Transform my team into the company’s model for operational excellence.
I’ve trained hundreds of managers on my S.P.A.N. (Setup → Prioritize → Activate→Nuture) system.
This is the Playbook I wish I had.

FAQs
Who is this Playbook for?
This playbook is for
- any MANAGER,
- who DIRECTLY leads a team,
- and wants to build a no-bullshit OKR system.
“We don’t rise to the level of our OKRs, we fall to the level of our OKR system.”
This is NOT for
- individual contributors.
- project managers.

What is a kata?
A “kata” is a structured way of doing things or practice.
It comes from Japanese martial arts where learners spend much of their time practicing drills to improve specific moves and through repetition the correct technique ingrained in muscle memory until it happens by reflex.
The OKR Deployment Playbook consists of a set of such practices that any manager can take their team through and after 2 – 3 cycles achieve effortless excellence in OKRs.
But my boss hates OKRs!
- Does your boss like to see results?
- Does your boss like to see happy customers?
- Does your boss like to see a highly engaged team?
- Does your boss like to see a much-loved product or service?
If your boss doesn’t like those things, this Playbook won’t help you. Find a new boss.
If he does, then this Playbook will make him an OKR fan.
When I first implemented OKRs (also 4DX and Lean Six Sigma before that), I didn’t ask my boss’s permission. I just did it and my team’s results made him get the rest of the company aboard.
Does this help me secure my team's buy-in?
Yes, the Playbook is is designed to be used with your team.
It will guide and prevent you from committing the 3 deadly rookie mistakes that make teams hate OKRs:
- Creating OKRs for your team.
- Not activating OKRs i.e. “Set and Pray”.
- Not knowing where NOT to apply OKRs.
The “Lead” part of the
Learn → Practice → Lead → Influence
drill used in the Playbook is all about your team.
Will this work for performance appraisals?
No! it won’t
No!! It shouldn’t
You should NOT use OKRs to set individual performance objectives. In this program, you will learn how to make OKRs play with your performance evaluation system without crippling them.
Does this cover OKR software?
If this you’re just starting with OKRs,
- You don’t need OKR software
- You don’t need to change existing tools
The software is the easiest part of OKRs … after you get the foundations right, which I guarantee you will after you complete this Playbook.
Here’s how the Playbook helps you
- It contains a simple but powerful OKR tracker for your first and second cycles.
- It contains the OKR Quality Matrix which no software or app has.
- The “OKR Systems Integration” play will help you formulate exactly when, and how to select and use various tools into your OKR system.
