ADAM Audio: Strategic Alignment

Situation

ADAM Audio GmbH is a highly specialized manufacturer of recording studio loudspeakers (monitors) for professional sound generation based in Berlin. The company wastaken over by a British company in 2019 and continues to operate largely independently. Enormous growth rates, an ambitious portfolio strategy as well as COVID and home office further challenged the organisation.

Goals of the project

By introducing Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) as a management tool, the organization was supposed to be re-aligned even in times of physical distance between departments. The entire process took place within 2 months via video conference.

Approach

The leadership team members have developed a deep understanding of each other's preferences and perspectives through assessments and semi-structured interviews in a team coaching and feedback process. On this basis, the status quo, mission models and strategies for each department were developed. From these, the Leadership Team members were able to derive their specific OKRs, always sharpen them transparently in the context of the corporate strategy among themselves and pass them on to their direct reports, where the OKR process continues. Iterations of the OKR take place quarterly.

Success

The entire Leadership Team and its Direct Reports are aligned towards a common guiding idea and review progress on a quarterly basis. With the introduction of the OKR methodology, the objectives were defined together, making priorities clearer and increasing transparency across the entire organisation.
