Paul Niven Biography

Paul Niven is a management consultant, author, and speaker specializing in strategy execution, Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), and the Balanced Scorecard. Niven's expertise developed through industry experience at a large electric utility that adopted the Balanced Scorecard system, providing him with firsthand knowledge of performance management frameworks before he transitioned to consulting roles at KPMG and CSC.

Niven authored "Balanced Scorecard Step-by-Step: Maximizing Performance and Maintaining Results," a practical guide for organizations implementing the Scorecard approach. This book has been translated into multiple languages and is widely used by organizations worldwide. His additional works include "Balanced Scorecard Evolution," "Balanced Scorecard Step by Step for Governments and Nonprofits," "Balanced Scorecard Diagnostics," and the business fable "Roadmaps and Revelations."

As the OKR methodology gained prominence, Niven became a leading practitioner and educator in the field. He co-authored "Objectives & Key Results: Driving Focus, Alignment and Engagement with OKRs" and wrote "OKRs For Dummies," offering step-by-step guidance on OKR implementation. "Objectives and Key Results" is recognized as a comprehensive reference guide on OKRs, a framework designed to help organizations achieve focus, alignment, and improved communication. Niven's work has appeared in business journals, and he is a frequent conference speaker.

Niven is the founder of OKRsTraining.com and The Senalosa Group, organizations that have supported more than 500 clients in strategy execution and change management. His clients include Anheuser-Busch, T. Rowe Price, Humana, Meta, Adidas, Mercedes-Benz, Dun & Bradstreet, eBay, Hulu, and the United States Navy. Niven is known for making complex performance management concepts accessible and actionable for organizations and leadership teams seeking to improve strategy execution.
