DigitalWinners GmbH (OKR Experts) wins BIG BANG INNOVATION Award 2026 for its AI OKR Coach
Erno Marius Obogeanu-Hempel (DigitalWinners GmbH / OKR Experts) accepts the BIG BANG INNOVATION Award 2026 in Berlin
Berlin, Germany, September 17, 2026 - DigitalWinners GmbH, the German consultancy behind the OKR Experts brand (okrexperts.com), has received the BIG BANG INNOVATION Award 2026 for its project "AI OKR Coach". The award was presented on September 16, 2026, in Berlin in the category "Consulting Innovation, DUP Editorial Award" (German: "Beratungs-Innovation, DUP-Redaktionspreis") during the BIG BANG KI Festival, a cross-industry event on artificial intelligence (KI is the German abbreviation for AI). The award is presented by the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ) and the business magazine DUP UNTERNEHMER and recognizes projects that respond to technological change with effective, future-oriented solutions.
What the AI OKR Coach is
The AI OKR Coach is an AI-supported ecosystem for strategy execution with Objectives and Key Results (OKR), a goal-setting method companies use to translate strategy into measurable outcomes. At its core is a specialized AI copilot, now available as the OKR Companion web app at okr-companion.com [https://okr-companion.com/en/]. The app provides three AI assistants: the OKR Coach delivers OKR knowledge and methodology on demand, the OKR Goal Assistant drafts and sharpens objectives and key results, and the KR & KPI Assistant identifies suitable metrics and benchmarks. The app also includes the OKR handbook "OKR kompakt" as an e-book and a curated OKR news feed. The ecosystem also includes the seminar "AI for OKR Coaches, Masters & Champions" (German: "KI fur OKR Coaches, Master & Champions") on the professional use of AI tools in strategy execution.
The OKR Companion was developed by the team of KI-Experten, the AI brand of DigitalWinners GmbH, so that OKR methodology and AI implementation expertise come from the same company. Its knowledge base draws on methods and lessons from more than 300 OKR implementations supported by OKR Experts. The app is designed for OKR coaches, OKR masters, OKR champions and practitioners with solid basic knowledge of the method. It runs as a web app on desktop, tablet and smartphone and is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany.
Why it matters
The OKR Companion is designed to relieve OKR coaches of time-consuming and repetitive tasks so they can focus on leadership, change management and facilitation. The stated goal is to help organizations arrive at higher-quality OKR sets faster and to link strategy more closely with day-to-day execution, with expert knowledge that was previously tied to individual consultants made digitally available.
"Most strategies do not fail in planning, they fail in execution. In more than 300 OKR implementations we have seen where teams get stuck: rarely with the method itself, almost always with the quality of the wording and the discipline within the cycle. The OKR Companion does not replace an OKR coach. It makes good coaching scalable and keeps quality high in the moments when a consultant cannot be in the room," said Erno Marius Obogeanu-Hempel, founder and managing director of DigitalWinners GmbH (OKR Experts, KI-Experten).
A track record in consulting quality
DigitalWinners GmbH has received the "Best of Consulting" award of the German business weekly WirtschaftsWoche four times: in 2025, first place in the Organization category and second place in the Strategy category; in 2023, second place in the Organization category and an award in the Strategy category.
