SOUND FAMILIAR?
Does this sound like
one of yours?
- Only one person really knows how it works
- The same number gets updated in more than one tab
- Someone spends days reconciling it before the executive report goes up
- You've already tried software to replace it, and it didn't stick
If two of those are true,
you're running a system without an owner.
Workarounds don't fail loudly. They fail at audit time, at handover, or the week the person who built it goes on leave.
WHAT CHANGED AT LGP
Weekly executive report now builds itself
Under a month from prototype approval to organisation-wide launch
No new licences, no subscription
“This project solved a challenge we had been trying to address for several years. The OKR Tracker has given us a simple and sustainable way to connect individual, team and organisational goals, while improving visibility, accountability and reporting across the business. Because the solution was built around how we work and integrated into our existing Microsoft environment, adoption was strong from day one.”
Michelle Despas
Director of People & Culture, Local Government Procurement
WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY
A real example. A starting point for your own spreadsheet.
See how LGP moved from a multi-tab OKR spreadsheet to a tracker where owners update their own progress and the weekly executive report builds itself from live data.
Hear from Michelle about LGP's experience, with time for questions about the change.
Understand what LGP built inside its existing Microsoft 365, and how it avoided another software subscription.
Get a clickable prototype of your spreadsheet as a SharePoint system, built for you after the session. Attend and answer five questions covering who touches it, the workflow, what it captures and what it costs today.
INSIDE LGP'S OKR TRACKER
See the process before and after
Michelle walks you through LGP's tracker in a live demo, followed by an interview and Q&A.
Before: one spreadsheet, repeated updates
One person owned the multi-tab Excel file. Directors updated the same goal at three levels, and the weekly executive pack was assembled by hand.
Outcome: repeated entry and manual reporting kept the process running
After: owners update, reporting follows
TechRam built the tracker on SharePoint lists and Microsoft automation inside LGP's existing Microsoft 365. Owners update their own progress, and the weekly executive report builds itself from live data.
Outcome: prototype approval to organisation-wide soft launch took under a month

Built on what you already pay for
LGP's tracker runs on SharePoint lists and Microsoft automation inside the Microsoft 365 tenant they already had. Access follows their staff directory, so anyone who joins gets it automatically.
No new licences
No per-seat subscription: one build cost, then a few dollars a month on Azure
LGP owns it, and their own data lead runs the reporting
WHO IT'S FOR
For the person who owns the spreadsheet everyone else depends on
Operations, People & Culture, Quality, Governance, Contracts Corporate Services leads in organisations of 50 to 300 people: local government, care providers, engineering, professional services and not-for-profits.
If you're the one who reconciles it before the report goes up, this session is for you.

Questions
Do I need to understand how to implement SharePoint?
No. This is for the people who run the process, not IT.
Do we need to buy anything?
No. Everything you'll see runs inside Microsoft 365, which most organisations already have.
Is this a sales pitch?
Forty minutes of content, then five minutes on next steps. We finish on time.
How does the prototype work?
After the session we will give you a free tool to help you automate one of your spreadsheets, and we'll build a clickable prototype of it as a SharePoint system.
Can't make it live?
Register anyway and we'll send you the recording.
TUESDAY 17 NOVEMBER · 11:00-11:45AM AEDT · ON ZOOM · FREE
Bring the spreadsheet you'd rather not open again. Leave with a prototype of it as a system.
