OKR
An OKR (Objectives and Key Results) is an outcome-focused goal-setting framework: an Objective states what to achieve in a quarter or year, and 1–4 Key Results define how success is measured. All Key Results must be achieved for the Objective to be achieved.
OKRs are best understood as OKRs as Bets, deliberate commitments of scarce resources to high-impact goals, guided by Outcome Thinking and limited to a Wildly Important Focus. They are distinct from Business-as-Usual work, which is tracked with a KPI Scorecard instead.
The work done to move Key Results is captured separately as Initiatives, Process Commitments and Experiments.
From the ZOKRI OKR Handbook, the methodology we install and maintain.
Reading about method is not the same as running it. We install this system and build the capability that stays.
