Case Study: DB Schenker achieves greater transparency, focus, and faster strategy execution with Workpath OKR

DB Schenker boosts goal achievement by 17% with Workpath

DB Schenker, a leading global logistics provider, faced challenges in effectively integrating its global strategy with local execution across its numerous international teams. The company struggled with stringent prioritization, a lack of outcome orientation, and a poor understanding of how team contributions aligned with overarching goals. To address this, they partnered with vendor Workpath to implement its OKR framework and platform.

Workpath provided the OKR framework and an intuitive software platform to create an outcome-oriented strategy execution process. The solution increased focus, transparency, and collaboration. As a result, DB Schenker saw a 17% higher goal achievement rate for teams that effectively applied the framework. Employee surveys showed a significant increase in the ability to focus on priorities, and more mature teams using Workpath increased their target achievement by almost 20% over four cycles.
