Your OKR template

This OKR sets out the goal to improve the efficiency of AD and email administration. The objective involves several strategies, including reducing the downtime of servers, training staff on proper use, and implementing a cybersecurity protocol. The overall effectiveness hinges on significant adjustments in technical hardware, personnel training, and security protocol implementation.

The primary ambition is to reduce server downtime by 20%, which requires an upgrade to server hardware, additional training for the technical team, and the implementation of a regular maintenance schedule. Each of these initiatives works to combat the causes of downtime and ideally prevent them from happening in the first place.

Furthermore, the goal is to train the workforce on proper system use with a completion rate of 80% for the overall training. This objective will be achieved by monitoring and reporting staff completion rates, mandatory training sessions, and the creation of a comprehensive AD and email usage manual.

Finally, the objective aims to implement a successful cybersecurity protocol for email systems. For this, anti-malware and spam software installation, robust password and multi-factor authentication protocols are planned. Additionally, there's a mandate to train employees on phishing and online safety regularly.
