What are OKRs?
Objectives and Key Results (OKR) is a goal-setting methodology – at the most basic level it is just a about setting goals. Yet it is a modern management approach to setting company-wide goals so as to align everyone and focus on the same key priorities that truly drive results. The OKR methodology is a “Shared Goals” system which creates clarity and aligns all of your organization, connects everyone to your Top Company Goals, increases performance and drives better results. Since Google began using OKRs in 1999, this framework revolutionized goal-setting and has become the de facto standard for aligning company goals with employee goals for the world’s best performing companies including Linkedin, Oracle, Twitter, Dropbox, McKinsey, John Hancock, VMware and many others. Here we will explain the introductory basics about how OKRs can help organizations improve performance, achieve a higher level of productivity and organizational clarity, and ultimately succeed with better results.
