Objectives & Key Results
What are OKRs?
Objectives and Key Results (“OKRs“) is a goal management framework or strategy execution system used by many leading global organizations such as Google, Amazon, Intel, Netflix, Microsoft and an increasing number of ambitious companies and startups of all sizes.
OKRs system is invented by Andy Grove, CEO of Intel, in the 1970s. Andy used OKRs to transform Intel from a manufacturer of memory chips into the world’s dominant producer of microprocessors for PC, servers, and general-purpose computing in a few short years. During his tenure as CEO, Grove oversaw a 4,500% increase in Intel’s market capitalization from $4 billion to $197 billion, making it the world’s 7th largest company at one time.
Google adopted OKRs in its early days after it secured its first round of venture capital financing. The use of OKRs helped Google become the biggest search engine in the world and one of the most valuable companies ever. Google is still using OKRs now.
Use Case – Hybrid Work
Covid-19 has changed the way we work permanently. Hybrid work is now the norm rather than exception for many organizations.
Challenges
The case for switching to hybrid is powerful. But it’s not an easy transition to make.
- Staying aligned with priorities
- Keeping informed
- Remaining cohesive
- Maintaining trust
- Communicating across teams
OKRs enable your enterprise to execute strategies more effectively and deliver business results, including solving the challenges of switching to the hybrid model. This challenge can be overcome by adopting very cost effective cloud solutions such as Gtmhub, which we are a partner of, for as little as USD1 per month.
