Rhythm vs Docs/Spreadsheets

You're attached to Google Docs and Excel because they're simple and easy-to-use for all your employees. They're flexible, they're free and they're fast—it seems perfect. Except.

  • Spreadsheets and docs are not built for strategic planning and goal tracking. You're a rapidly growing middle-market company: spreadsheets are simply not scalable.
  • There's no framework to support your execution and collaboration is a nightmare. You're operating from a hundred different documents and spreadsheets, and folders are always getting buried in the heap.
  • There's no way to connect your annual and quarterly plans to your daily KPIs. You have no visibility on how you're progressing on your strategic plans. You're working in the dark and failing to execute.
  • Spreadsheets are riddled with errors and bad data. Plus, you cannot visualize your progress in different ways. They’re costing you hours of productivity, with tons of manual work.

We don't have to convince you why executing a high-level strategy using Excel sheets and Google docs is a bad idea. It's obvious.

Ditch the 18th century tools. Shift to the modern, more effective way to work.

Rhythm for OKRs

OKRs help you set ambitious goals and track them across the organization. They help you define success right from the top to the frontline of your organization.

And when you combine it with a software, it seems you've achieved the perfect combination. Except.

  • Most OKR software give you a goal completion percentage every week—giving you a false sense of confidence.

    50% completion doesn't tell you if you're successfully on track for your plans, what areas of your goals are progressing smoothly and where you're stuck.
  • OKRs in most software do not link your objectives to the overall strategy. Your employees do not know how their job affects the success of the business, and there is no way to track your progress on your strategic plan on a daily basis.
  • Most OKR software do not solve the problem of silos because they neither cross-functionally link between OKRs nor link activities under the OKR metrics.

    Your teams are working in isolation and no one has any idea how their objectives affect other units in the organization.
  • They do not align your teams and employees towards the same goals. Everyone is rowing in a different direction, driving towards a different goal—and your business goes nowhere. There's always too many OKRs and too little that’s actually achieved.

In the end, you're left with objectives that could've transformed your organization but never did.

Get all the benefits of OKRs plus additional features. Make OKRs work with Rhythm.

Rhythm vs Project Management Tools

Define success and outperformance for your teams. Set a realistic green goal and a stretch super-green goal for your employees so you can celebrate the wins and motivate them to reach higher.

  • These tools help you manage projects. Not large-scale strategic growth plans. You need a tool that syncs priorities from the top of your company to the bottom, not a tool to manage isolated projects.
  • They do not let you see how one KPI impacts multiple other linked priorities and key items, which means you have no single source of truth for progress on your annual or quarterly plans.
  • Project management tools are great for managers of individual teams—but they do not align your entire organization towards the same goals.
  • These tools are cheap, but this comes at the cost of your execution and growth. You can never see how your company is doing as a whole or what priority you're falling behind on.

Project management tools help with projects. But projects don't help your business win. Strategic plans and flawless execution does.

We've worked with CEOs from YPO and EO. We've helped execute over 10,000 fully-fleshed growth plans perfectly and helped implement over 750,000 growth goals in Rhythm.

Rhythm gets you results unlike anything else.
Our clients are proof.

Our customers experimented with all the tools and frameworks in the market, anything to make sure their teams were on the same track to achieving their goals.

But nothing worked. Not spreadsheets, not other strategy execution software, not frameworks that came without a proper implementation system.

Because nothing combines strategy, methodology and software and support like we do.

Before Rhythm:

“Meetings used to take hours and we were always working on informing each other of what was happening instead of working on solutions.”
—Michelle Wink, CEO, UP Professional Solutions
“Before Rhythm, keeping a pulse on KPIs was difficult. We'd revisit them every month and every quarter—maybe every 6 months, and look back to see how we did. But being able to understand how we're progressing on a regular basis it was very difficult. It was stored in spreadsheets and we had a lot of different ways capturing metrics.”
—Filipe Carreira, President and COO, Voicebrook
“Life before Rhythm for Executive Team was a marathon meeting on the 4th Monday of every month. People would bring their notebooks to work during the meetings because no one loved the agenda or the time discussions took up."
—Stuart Bentley, President of TriOs College
“Before Rhythm, we thought we did a nice enough job. We thought we had a system to track & manage & organize. When you actually use Rhythm, you see the system you used before is a bunch of paperwork that didn’t help you that much.”
—Gino Giannettino, General Manager, ImageFIRST
“As head of R&D, we'd always done it one way one quarter, with no systematic way for me to manage the objectives for the group."
—Chris Tinsley, CTO, AvidXchange
“Life before rhythm is hard for us to imagine now. Our leadership team would come together and we would do 13-week sprints, we would have our quarterly priorities and KPIs mapped out, we would put the one page in a drive, go off and execute with our teams, and what we found at the end of the quarter, we really weren’t hitting our goals.”
—Deanna Felton, Director of Customer Experience, Qualtrax

After Rhythm:

“The efficiency and effectiveness of exec team meetings drastically improved since implementing Rhythm. Our meetings have gone from 6 hours to an hour or a half—which means our team is free to do more important work than sit in meetings.”
—Michelle Wink, CEO, UP Professional Solutions
“Rhythm helps brings everything together in one place for me to have true transparency across different business units. This allows me to come back and really close the loop on the strategy and to identify these gaps in terms of resources, lack of focus or that we had to refine. Personally without it, I’d be lost with too many things to track."
—Filipe Carreira, President and COO, Voicebrook
“Rhythm changed our business! Helping us get total alignment with over 800 people in 8 locations."
Randy Carr, CEO, World Emblem
“Rhythm has really helped our culture, we didn’t really have visibility when employees were struggling and needed resource assistance so we created a health status system and it is very helpful to see each week if an employee statuses yellow or red and helped to make sure to provide proper resources to that individual or entire team."
—Deanna Felton, Director of Customer Experience, Qualtrax
“As the CEO, Rhythm has given me visibility into how our strategy connects with the work our employees are doing."
-Ross Weinstein, CEO, Voicebrook
“Rhythm gave our organization the ability to see the outcome of what they’re doing. They can track KPIs against what they’re focused on and at the end of the quarter, to know that they’re successful or not."
–Carolina Corbett, Talent HR, Churchill
“With Rhythm, we feel prepared to take on each quarter & can anticipate results before it's too late.”
Michael Praeger, CEO, AvidXchange
