Execute your OKRs with profit.co

Six steps that turn your goals into scored, visible outcomes every quarter.

  1. Create your OKRs

    Set objectives and key results at corporate, department, team, and individual levels. Profit.co's AI Authoring drafts high-quality OKRs in seconds, ready for you to refine.

  2. Align goals across every team

    Cascade corporate OKRs down to departments, teams, and individuals. The alignment view shows every owner exactly how their key results contribute to the company's priorities.

  3. Assign owners and automate check-ins

    Give every key result an owner and a check-in frequency. Automated reminders prompt owners to update progress, status, and comments, so nothing slips between reviews.

  4. Track progress with live dashboards

    Heatmaps, confidence scores, and status charts show progress at a glance. Switch between eight OKR views, from Gantt to hierarchy, to suit every stakeholder's needs.

  5. Review and course-correct mid-quarter

    Confidence-based statuses flag at-risk key results automatically. AI Summaries turn check-ins into concise review notes, so you can decide what to accelerate, escalate, or rework.

  6. Reflect and reset

    Answer reflection questions at quarter-end to capture what worked well. Then reset each key result for next quarter: continue, modify, or complete and close it.

Who is this for

Local and regional government operations leaders, service centre managers, and public services directors accountable for citizen-facing service delivery.

  • Director of Public Services

    Owns the council-wide citizen satisfaction score and sets service delivery targets across departments each quarter.

  • Chief Administrative Officer

    Oversees cross-departmental service delivery performance and escalates processing time breaches to elected leadership.

  • Service Centre Manager

    Manages front-line service delivery, tracks first-contact resolution rates, and owns daily queue and wait-time metrics.

  • Head of Citizen Relations

    Tracks complaint rates and feedback channels, identifies root-cause service failures, and coordinates resolution actions.

  • Head of e-Government

    Owns the citizen portal registration growth target and manages digital channel availability and uptime.

  • Accessibility & Inclusion Officer

    Tracks the share of service touchpoints meeting accessibility standards and coordinates compliance upgrades across departments.

Why teams use this template

Owned goals, measurable targets, and progress every stakeholder can see.

  • Make citizen satisfaction a named quarterly commitment, not an annual report finding.

    CSAT surveys published at year-end tell leadership where service quality landed — not what was done mid-quarter to improve it. Assigning a CSAT target to a named Director of Public Services with a quarterly baseline and weekly check-in turns satisfaction from a measurement into a managed outcome.

  • Track backlog clearance as a KR, not a workplan action item.

    Application backlogs in government departments are frequently listed in operational plans without a named owner or quarterly target. Making backlog volume a key result with a current count, a target, and a Head of Application Processing as owner creates the accountability structure that moves it.

  • Connect channel investment decisions to measurable access coverage.

    Councils invest in digital portals, kiosk expansions, and accessibility upgrades without tracking whether the investment translates into a measurable increase in citizens who can access services through those channels. Tracking multi-channel availability and accessible touchpoints as KRs closes that accountability gap.

  • Replace complaint-driven reactive management with a proactive resolution rate target.

    When the first-contact resolution rate is not a tracked quarterly KR, service centre managers have no formal mandate to improve it until complaints rise to the point of political visibility. A named target with a weekly cadence enables course correction before the complaint threshold is reached.

How to use this template

Three steps to go from download to a filled-in plan for your team.

  1. Review the filled example (Sheet 1)

    Walk through three pre-filled objectives and nine key results with realistic targets, owners, progress scores, and lifecycle statuses. Use it as a reference before entering your own data.

  2. Fill in the blank template (Sheet 2)

    Add your department and quarter. Write your three objectives and nine key results, giving every KR an owner, a baseline, and a target.

  3. Track progress in the Excel tracker

    Enter the latest value in the Actual column each week. Progress and Lifecycle Status calculate automatically, and the Overall OKR Score updates in real time.

Frequently asked questions

A citizen service OKR is a quarterly goal-setting framework for government departments that sets measurable targets for service quality, wait times, complaint resolution, and citizen access. The Objective is a qualitative outcome — such as reducing processing backlogs or improving satisfaction — and the Key Results are the specific metrics that define success: CSAT score, first-contact resolution rate, average wait time, pending application count, and multi-channel availability percentage. It turns annual citizen survey findings into actively managed quarterly commitments.
