Objectives and Key Results, also known as OKRs, have become very popular as a way to improve company performance. They have powered success at companies like Google, Intel, and Intuit.
OKRs can be used by the smallest to the largest companies. OKRs can improve your company’s performance by increasing focus, employee engagement, alignment, agility, and innovation.
The structure of OKRs is very simple. An OKR is comprised of:
- An objective: an outcome you want to achieve
- Key results: the criteria to measure the achievement of an objective
This simplicity and clarity attract many people to OKRs. It’s what also allows rapid iteration and ease of communication. OKRs focus on frequent iteration and innovation. This promotes setting OKRs across the organization and cross-team coordination.
