Structure
Objectives Definition
OKRs define clear and ambitious objectives that articulate what needs to be achieved. These objectives serve as the guiding focus for teams and individuals
Measurable Key Results
Each objective is accompanied by measurable key results that define the specific outcomes or milestones indicating progress toward the objective. Key results provide a quantifiable way to assess success.
Strategic Initiatives
OKRs often incorporate strategic initiatives, which are specific actions or projects designed to drive progress toward key results and objectives.
Benefits of adopting OKRs
According to John Doerr, OKRs give the company the following four benefits:
- Focus and commitment to priorities
- Alignment and connection for teamwork
- Follow-up of responsibilities
- Training to achieve the “impossible”
OKRs also increase the organization’s response speed by allowing short cycles that continually reorient the company towards what generates greater strategic value.
Who are OKRs for?
This system is incredible because it can be used by both large companies and startups, small businesses, entrepreneurs or even you individually.
Although it does not require a large structure, two things are key:
The alignment and commitment of the staff to achieve the proposed results.
You should think about using OKRs One hundred teams have different sources of data for the metrics or KPIs and nobody understands them, also if there is no clarity about the key results to be achieved if you do not know the reasons why you are not achieving the results or if they seem too much to you complex systems of work by objectives.
You should also take into account the OKRs if you do not have defined objectives or if you do not know the results.
Is you organization ready for OKRs?
What is not an OKR
OKRs are a tool to motivate your team, so you must be clear that it is not an OKR.
- They are not KPIs or performance indicators. The OKRs pursue objectives with which to go a step further, that is, to get out of the current situation to reach a new, more ambitious terrain. KPIs measure the success and progress of an ongoing activity that you are already running. The two methodologies can complement each other. With the KPIs they can serve as inspiration when defining the social.
- They are not a checklist or a list of things to do either. Thus, strategies are proposed to fulfill these must describe results more than activities.
- They are not performance evaluations. The idea is that they motivate collaborators to go further, not measure their ability to fulfill some tasks, they can also be self-assessed.
OKRs have been key to the growth and success of many companies, because they allow us to focus on what really matters and not on the daily and low-impact tasks that we sometimes get used to doing.
At KVASAR, we believe in the power of OKRs to focus on what really matters and achieve high impact. If you are looking for an effective methodology to align your efforts with your strategic goals, we invite you to explore OKRs and discover how they can revolutionize, empower and transform your organization.
