OKRs - Objectives &
Key Results
Goals that connect - results that count
Companies that want to hold their own in dynamic markets need more than good intentions - they need a mechanism that translates vision, mission and strategy into verifiable results.
Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) do exactly that:
Ambitious, inspiring objectives define why something is important, precise key results show how success can be measured.
The quarterly rhythm creates a clear focus on the essentials. Silos are broken down and progress is visible to teams and management at all times.
Studies from high-growth companies show that OKRs increase the speed of decision-making, boost commitment and optimize the use of resources - because everyone knows where the journey is going and how their contribution is measured.
