Think of it as a point on a map, a destination like New York. Think of it as a signpost with a distance marker. The biggest impact of using OKR in most organizations without goal management already in place, is a cultural shift from output to outcomes. OKR creates focus, accountability, transparency , and alignment within an organization.
The results of all this is an increase in performance and employee engagement. OKR helps managers and employees align all their efforts, making sure that everyone in the organization is moving in the same direction. OKR helps communicate the bigger picture in a way everyone understands. For it to be successful, the implementation and management of OKR should have an owner within the organization.
OKRs are usually created on 2 cadences: annual and quarterly. Company Objectives are typically set annually whereas individuals and teams set their OKRs quarterly. Company OKRs are purely directional and therefore a longer time span makes sense. Team OKRs are tactical and therefore quarterly makes more sense: the corresponding shorter review cycles enable organizations to change direction if tactics are not driving progress towards the Company OKRs for the year. More info on how to find the right OKR cadence can be found in here.
Most organizations have a mission and vision, but often these are difficult to understand and can be confused with one and other. We recommend turning your mission and vision into an ultimate goal. Your ultimate goal should aim for a point at a considerable distance in the future; 10, 15 even 25 years is reasonable.
Having a single ultimate goal gives you the focus that your entire organization needs. This video explains how to turn mission and vision into your ultimate goal. Company OKRs set the direction for the entire organization. Because company OKRs are directional, they usually have a time span of 1 to 3 years. Your company OKRs reflect the 3 or 4 things your organization decides it must achieve in the next 12 months.
We recommend starting with an OKR workshop where all key stakeholders responsible for company strategy first ask for and then gather, input from employees on what they think top priorities should be. This input can then be discussed in relation to existing company strategy and broken down into 3 to 5 OKRs. This can be done using post-it notes, collaborative documents, or even a whiteboard. The objective of the exercise is to come to an agreement on what the organization should have achieved by the beginning of the following year.
Team and individual OKRs express what tactics the teams and individuals will deploy, and what results they will need to achieve in order to help the organization realize its long-term Objectives. Everyone has a busy schedule and urgent things will constantly pop up, but whatever is reflected in your OKRs deserves priority over everything else.
OKRs give every team and individual a sense of direction and accomplishment. If every team creates their OKRs as if these were the only things they will be working on that quarter, it will ensure a successful OKR program whilst helping the organization realize its strategy.
Group Objectives should always be the things that, if you achieve them, will have a huge positive effect on your entire organization.
Achieving Group Objectives, just like Company Objectives, should be cause for a celebration! Keeping Group Objectives within a short and strict time frame, encourages focus and allows you to review them in cycles.
Make them tough. Group Key Results should be focused and have a clearly defined scope. While Company Key Results cover broad metrics, Group Key Results should measure more granular progress, like sales of a specific product. Goal 5 5 Gender Equality.
