OKR Overview
- OKRs, created by Andy Grove, became popular through Google and are now used in various industries.
- OKRs involve objectives (areas for improvement) and key results (measurable metrics).
Measurable Key Results
- Key results should be measurable outcomes, not just activities.
- Focus on the intended impact, like increased leads, rather than just completing tasks.
The Importance of "Why"
- Include a "why" statement after the objective to explain its importance and drive engagement.
- This clarifies the objective's purpose and motivates teams.
