First some context, traditionally, OKR implementations suggest having a few champions per company to maintain the process.

While many sources touch on the importance of having OKR champions, few provide in-depth guidance on how to elevate this crucial aspect. Here's how to bring it to the next level:

Define roles and job descriptions for OKR champions, specifying time commitment. Roles may include methodology coaches for training and staying updated, and OKR generalists for Q&A and cycle support.

Appoint an OKR leader to coordinate champions, engage with c-level, and evaluate process effectiveness in line with market trends and global strategy. The leader guides champions to enhance processes and goal quality across teams.
