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

Government transparency, open data, and information rights leaders accountable for proactive disclosure, request timeliness, and financial and oversight transparency.

  • Head of Transparency & Open Government

    Owns the council's overall transparency agenda and sets proactive disclosure and open government targets each quarter.

  • Open Data Programme Manager

    Owns public dataset publication completeness and drives the open data programme's growth and quality standards.

  • Information Rights Officer

    Owns statutory information-request response timeliness and ensures freedom-of-information obligations are consistently met.

  • Information Access Manager

    Owns the information-request backlog and manages the request pipeline to keep cases within statutory response windows.

  • Financial Transparency Officer

    Owns public expenditure disclosure completeness and makes government spending visible and accountable to citizens.

  • Ethics & Integrity Officer

    Owns anti-corruption declaration compliance and maintains the integrity disclosures that underpin public trust.

Why teams use this template

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

  • Shift from reactive disclosure to proactive publication.

    Most transparency work is triggered by individual information requests rather than published ahead of demand, which keeps agencies perpetually behind. Making proactive disclosure rate a KR owned by a Head of Transparency & Open Government moves the agency toward publishing information before it is asked for — the standard transparency indices actually reward.

  • Keep information requests within statutory timelines.

    Missed freedom-of-information deadlines expose agencies to appeals and regulator action, yet request timeliness is seldom an owned quarterly target. Tracking the share of requests answered within statutory timelines as a KR with an Information Rights Officer as owner keeps the agency compliant and defensible.

  • Grow open data as a measured programme, not an afterthought.

    Open data portals often launch and then stagnate because dataset publication is nobody's quarterly target. Making dataset completeness and active dataset count KRs with an Open Data Programme Manager as owner keeps the portal growing and useful rather than frozen at launch.

  • Make expenditure transparency a completeness metric.

    Financial transparency is frequently claimed but rarely measured against how much expenditure is actually disclosed. Tracking public expenditure disclosure completeness as a KR with a Financial Transparency Officer as owner turns a general commitment into a specific, auditable percentage that must rise each quarter.

Frequently asked questions

A transparency index OKR is a quarterly framework that sets measurable targets for how openly and accountably a government agency operates. The Objective is a qualitative goal — such as increasing proactive disclosure or strengthening financial transparency — and the Key Results are the specific metrics that define success: proactive disclosure rate, statutory request timeliness, open dataset count, request backlog, and expenditure disclosure completeness. It converts transparency from a reactive, request-driven activity into an actively managed quarterly commitment with named owners.
