OKR template to boost the billability rate of employees to 95%

This leadership OKR template is a strong starting point for teams that need better alignment, clearer priorities, and more disciplined goal tracking.

Use it to turn a business priority into a measurable objective, then review progress weekly so your team can adjust execution before the quarter gets away from you.

Your OKR template

The OKR seeks to increase the percentage of billable time of employees to 95%. One key strategy to achieve this is by reducing non-productive time by 15%, through the implementation of a time-tracking software. This includes training employees on how to use the software, researching the best options, and regular evaluation of its effectiveness.

Another objective aims at reducing non-billable task assignments by 20% through strategic delegation. The initiatives for this outcome involve implementing a strict task monitoring system, training staff on effective task delegation, and evaluating current methods to identify and rectify efficiency problems.

The third objective focuses on increasing productivity and thus billable time through productivity boosting training sessions. It endeavors to increase billable hours by minimum 10% via those training. The initiatives for this outcome involve constant monitoring and measuring of training effectiveness, identifying appropriate training programs, and allocating resources and schedules for the training.

Overall, the OKR aims at optimizing the profits and efficiency of the company by improving the billability rate of the employees. This is done primarily through employee training, workflow improvement, and time management software implementation.

Make these OKRs fit your team

Treat this template as a starting point. Keep the outcomes that match your priorities, adjust the targets and deadlines to reflect your baseline, and remove anything your team cannot influence directly.

Adapt the template or create a plan with AI

You can copy this example into Tability and refine it with your team. If you would rather start from your own context, use embedded AI Mode: describe what your team needs to achieve in a simple prompt and Tability will automatically create a structured OKR plan with objectives, measurable outcomes, and initiatives.

Before publishing, review the AI-generated plan with the people responsible for delivering it:

Replace generic outcomes with measures your team can update consistently
Set ambitious but credible targets using current performance as the baseline
Assign an owner to every outcome and agree on what success looks like
Remove duplicate or activity-based key results that do not prove meaningful progress
