The Director of Transformation drives change that sticks: new operating models, modernization, adoption, and measurable outcomes. Your OKRs should balance behavior change (adoption) with business impact (efficiency, quality, cost, customer outcomes).
What are good Director of Transformation goals?
Build OKRs around:
Adoption + behavior change (new rituals, usage, compliance)
Outcome realization (cycle time, defects, cost, CSAT)
Alignment across departments (shared priorities, fewer conflicts)
Enablement + capability building (training, coaching, role clarity)
Transparency (progress visible without weekly firefighting)
