What ikiōm does

ikiōm srl is a sole-practitioner management consulting firm founded in 2020 by Elie Casamitjana and headquartered at Place du roi vainqueur 21, 1040 Brussels, Belgium. The firm operates three interconnected service lines: Management Consulting (on-demand strategy, product, and go-to-market advisory including PMO setup, portfolio management, and competitive review); OKR Services (deployment strategy, leadership training, executive workshops, and change management around the Objectives and Key Results framework); and Impact Ventures (business strategy advisory, matchmaking, mentorship, and early-stage investment for social and impact entrepreneurs, delivered through the Impactivs sub-brand and Impact Makers Matchmaking service). The firm also operates the OKR Boost assessment as a self-service lead-generation tool.

There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is service-based and founder-led, relying on established consulting methodologies (OKR, strategic planning, product management) rather than software. The business model is professional services revenue from custom on-demand engagements priced on a quote basis, supplemented by book royalties from the co-authored "La Methode OKR - Le Guide Pratique" published by De Boeck Superieur. GTM is sales-led and direct, with no intermediaries, resellers, or marketplace channels; customer acquisition is driven by content marketing (blog, Medium, LinkedIn, Twitter, email newsletter), thought-leadership collaborations (gtmhub's Voices of OKR), and referral partnerships (OKRmentors, Impactivs). The company is self-funded and bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent, no subsidiaries, and headcount stated at one (the founder).

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• WorkBoard: Enterprise OKR platform offering strategy-execution software with implementation services for large organizations. Competes with ikiōm in the enterprise OKR deployment segment but at much greater scale and with a software-centric model.
• Boston Consulting Group (BCG): Global strategy consultancy with active transformation, organization, and growth practices. Comparable to ikiōm in providing strategic and execution advisory, with a far broader service portfolio and global delivery footprint.
• Gtmhub (Quantive): One of the largest OKR software platforms (now Quantive) with an established partner/consulting ecosystem for OKR deployment. Overlaps with ikiōm on OKR methodology and target audience, and is referenced as a ikiōm content partner.
• Roland Berger: European-headquartered global strategy consultancy with strong presence in Belgium, France, and broader EMEA. Overlaps with ikiōm on European mid-market and enterprise strategy and transformation engagements.
• McKinsey & Company: Largest global management consultancy, including strategy, organization, and transformation work that overlaps with ikiōm's Management Consulting line. Functions as the upper-bound benchmark for strategy consulting fees and engagement scope.
• Bain & Company: Global management consulting firm with deep strategy and organizational practice. Operates in the same overall management consulting category as ikiōm, with a much broader portfolio and stronger enterprise relationships — useful as a competitive benchmark for the strategy consulting segment ikiōm addresses.

Direct peers

• Perdoo: OKR-focused platform that bundles OKR software with implementation consulting and customer success services. Directly comparable to ikiōm's OKR Services line in methodology, target buyer (mid-market/enterprise), and service-plus-content positioning.
• OKRmentors: Online courses and masterclasses providing access to OKR experts for companies implementing OKRs. A ikiōm GTM partner; directly comparable in delivering OKR training and advisory to corporate audiences.
• Impactivs: Accelerator-style platform offering mentoring and programs to impact entrepreneurs — referenced as both a ikiōm sub-brand and a strategic partner. Directly comparable on the Impact Ventures service line, including matchmaking and early-stage venture support.

Emerging players

• Koan: OKR software platform targeting teams and small-to-mid-market organizations with lighter-touch implementation. Overlaps with ikiōm on OKR methodology and a similar mid-market customer focus, but competes as a software vendor rather than a consulting practice.
