Your OKR template

This OKR is designed to enhance the success rate of competitive grant applications. The central objective is to achieve a 20% increase in submitted high-quality applications. Thus, some of the key initiatives are establishing incentives for submitting quality applications and setting specific criteria to grade the level of quality of the applications.

The second facet of the OKR involves improving the grant writing skills of the team. This will be accomplished by conducting three intensive training sessions. The sequences for this include organizing materials for the training sessions, hiring experienced grant writing trainers, and scheduling the training sessions.

The third part of this OKR is targeted at forming partnerships with 5 key organizations. These partnerships are seen as a way to strengthen grant proposal narratives. The steps to achieve this goal are developing proposals for partnership, identifying relevant organizations to our grant proposal narrative, and initiating dialogue with these organizations.

Overall, this OKR is aimed at maximizing success in the field of grant applications. This includes both improving the quality of grant applications and increasing the team's ability to write compelling applications. Ultimately, the strategy also recognizes the valuable role of partnerships in strengthening the effectiveness of the application narratives.
