Many of Silicon Valley's finest companies have adopted OKR as an agile, goal setting framework. OKR delivers complete clarity for all staff on company goals. It drives collaborative and critical thinking on key objectives across all divisions, teams and individuals. It invites regular check ins to support and encourage progress. This leads to a clear sense of purpose with agreed measures of success. Staff are more engaged, motivated and productive. Management has a clearer view on where support is needed. It’s the perfect background to performance enhancing 1:1 coaching discussions.
I've had over 18 years experience of leading businesses from high growth start-up to £100m+ revenue. I've learned that great businesses can ONLY be built by aligning staff with the company purpose and vision, and by being laser focused on each step to realise that vision. OKR provides a great framework to achieve this.
Ideas are precious, but they are relatively easy, its execution that's everything.
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
AlignWork has shown us how to use OKR to cut through the clutter of daily work and focus on what's important for managers to achieve. With OKR we all align to the organisations’ success and OKR has united us.
