The desire to align organizational strategy using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has been around since before the former CEO of Intel, Andy Grove, coined the term and introduced OKRs to Intel in the 1970’s. In the past few years interest in using OKRs to drive organizational performance is resurgencing thanks to thought leaders such as Marty Cagan, Jeff Patton, and Jeff Gotthelf. Confusion remains about using OKRs and what leaders need to achieve alignment to a strategy based them. What's more - implementation in the context of an organizational that wasn’t designed to align to OKRs is hard.
We will explore activities based on real world scenarios and examples from large organizations that have struggled with OKRs. We will introduce a framework of strategic tools that help with OKR communication. We will highlight thoughtful OKR implementation approaches and crowd-source ways to help you avoid common pitfalls to unleash the power of your organization using OKRs and KPIs.
