Objectives & Key Results Solution

OKRs Increase Clarity;
One of the greatest benefits of OKRs is that they provide structure and clarity for an organization to work toward common goals.

OKRs Increase Focus;
Among the best practices for OKRs is to revisit them regularly – ideally every week. I have even found myself revisiting them daily.

Mot Importantly OKRs Increase Collaboration

The answer lies in the fact that OKRs are not just goals for individuals but they are connections between the strategy & execution. OKRs are nothing short of a communication channel for conveying strategy. And we all know how good strategies end up in a trash can because they weren’t executed properly. Writing good OKRs is a prerequisite to executing the strategy successfully.

when people have to create OKRs for the first time, they search the internet for help. They then run into all sorts of rules such as “every Objective should have 3 Key Results”. The problem with these rules is that they’re sometimes difficult, if not impossible, to apply. They should, therefore, be taken for what they actually are: best practice.

If Objectives tell you where to go, Key Results are what you need to achieve to get there. Key Results are like a GPS that you follow in order to navigate to where you want to be. Where a GPS needs 3 satellites to accurately pinpoint your location, an Objective requires 3 Key Results to accurately let you know whether or not you’ve accomplished it.
