When consultant and entrepreneur Raphael Tchomnou Ngantchop first encountered OKRs five years ago, he experienced what he calls a “mind-blowing” realization about shifting from outputs to outcomes. This discovery would become the foundation for extraordinary business growth – multiplying his revenue by six and expanding his team from 3 to 22 people through strategic OKR implementation and his partnership with OKR Mentors.
Raphael Tchomnou Ngantchop is an OKR Professional Coach certified through OKR Mentors who has built his consulting practice around transforming organizations through outcome-focused thinking.
The Great Discovery
Raphael’s OKR journey started with a powerful realization about five years ago. “I came across OKRs and I think it was mind-blowing because that was the first time I heard about shifting my mind from output to outcome,” he recalls. This initial discovery led him to research further, where he found OKR Mentors and began completing online certifications.
The journey from first discovery to expertise was transformational for him. After engaging in conversations with the OKR Mentors team, he pursued full certification as an OKR Professional Coach, marking the beginning of what would become a fundamental shift in how he approaches organizational development.
His approach treats OKRs as a cultural transformation rather than just another business framework, helping companies develop what he calls “humanity” in their organizations through better collaboration, teamwork, and focus.
Why OKRs Drive Organizational Humanity
For Raphael, OKRs address a fundamental need in modern organizations that goes beyond simple goal-setting. “Today, I think the role OKRs are really playing is to drive some kind of humanity to organizations. Why? Because it’s about collaboration. It’s about teamwork. It’s about focus, and especially it’s about impact,” he explains.
This perspective shapes his belief that OKRs provide essential structure for strategy execution while creating alignment across growing teams. Rather than viewing OKRs as just another business tool, he positions them as a compass that helps entire organizations navigate toward shared outcomes while maintaining their human-centered approach to business.
Partnership with OKR Mentors: Breaking Through Limitations
Raphael credits his partnership with OKR Mentors as transformative for his business capabilities. The partnership fundamentally changed his perspective on business constraints. “When you do business, you look at your resources, you look at what you can deliver, you tell yourself, ‘This is my limit.’ But with OKR Mentors, it’s no limits. It’s without boundaries.”
Through OKR Mentors’ certification training, he gained access to ready-made content and structured materials that he could immediately implement with clients. More importantly, the community connection meant that when facing challenging situations, he wasn’t working in isolation. The combination of professional certification, proven training materials, and continuous community backing allowed him to deliver OKR implementations at a scale and quality level that would have been impossible working independently.
Recipe for Success: Making OKRs Cultural
Through his certification and subsequent client work, Raphael developed a distinctive methodology that treats OKRs as a cultural transformation rather than just process implementation. “The first thing is to train people, train leadership, coach managers, train the whole team so they can make OKRs habits. It’s far from a framework. It’s a mindset,” Raphael emphasizes.
The approach centers on several key principles that emerged from his OKR Mentors training and community insights:
Position OKRs as a Mindset: His approach focuses on embedding OKRs into organizational culture rather than treating them as another business process.
Creating Immersive Learning Experiences: Raphael transforms traditional training into interactive experiences that engage participants deeply. Teams work through real cases in gaming-like environments that help them internalize OKR principles and develop sustainable habits around outcome-focused thinking.
Developing Internal Champions: Central to his success is cultivating OKR champions within organizations who can sustain the methodology long-term. These champions maintain focus on outcomes while helping teams see the meaningful impact they’re creating, ensuring that OKR practices become embedded in organizational culture rather than remaining superficial processes.
Measurable Business Impact
The results of Raphael’s OKR journey demonstrate the power of combining expertise with community support. From 2022 to 2025, his business experienced extraordinary growth driven by his enhanced OKR capabilities and partnership with OKR Mentors. “From 2022 to 2025, where we are today, I would say my revenue has multiplied by six,” he shares. Simultaneously, his team expanded dramatically from three to twenty-two people.
The Deeper Impact
Beyond the impressive numerical growth, Raphael sees deeper organizational impact through his OKR work. His philosophy drives his approach to helping other business leaders understand that OKRs represent more than a business methodology – they’re a comprehensive approach to creating meaningful change.
For Raphael, this journey represents a fundamental shift toward a human-centered approach to growth and development. His recommendation for others considering this path reflects his conviction about the transformative power of the OKR Mentors community: “You don’t have two choices. You only have one choice: OKR Mentors – because it’s a way of living, doing, and winning.”
Raphael’s experience demonstrates how the right community partnership, combined with proven certification and a cultural mindset shift, can transform not just business metrics but fundamental approaches to organizational development and sustainable growth.
