Centralized C-suite OKR tracking Recurring annual cadence Leadership alignment and visibility

Use Case

One system for every C-suite goal

A multi-entity philanthropic and impact investment organization manages objectives and key results for its entire C-suite leadership team in Airtable, tracking annual OKRs on a recurring cadence. Executives now work from a centralized system for strategic goal management instead of separate documents each leader kept on their own.

The problem

Objectives and key results for the C-suite were tracked in a fragmented way across leadership, with no single place to see how each executive's goals were progressing at any given point in the year.

Updating and reporting on OKRs was a manual exercise, which meant leadership lacked a centralized, always-current view of strategic goal progress across the organization.

What they built

Executive Leadership built a centralized Airtable system to manage objectives and key results for the entire C-suite, replacing scattered tracking with one shared structure.

Annual OKRs run on a recurring cadence, with each objective and key result tracked and updated in the same system so leadership can review progress together instead of comparing separate documents.

The outcome

The C-suite now tracks OKRs in one centralized system instead of fragmented documents, giving executives a shared, current view of strategic goals throughout the year.

The recurring annual cadence keeps goal setting and review consistent, and leadership alignment and visibility have improved now that everyone works from the same record.
