A Brief History

The Good and Bad of MBOs
The Good The Bad

reviews and compensation
• MBOs ushered in era
of results-oriented
management

A Brief History
5
The OKRs Revolution
• Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are
invented at Intel
• KPCB’s John Doerr brings OKRs to Google
and more
Benefits
• Quarterly vs. Annual process
• Transparent and aligned
• Aspirational
• Not tied to performance
reviews/compensation
6
So…
What are OKRs?
7
The guide to OKRs
OKRs are a management
methodology that helps
companies focus effort on
the same important
issues throughout their
organization
8
Objectives
• Personally significant and aspirational
‒ Should get you out of bed in the morning
• Significant for company
‒ Aligned w/, and supported by, entire org
As measured by…
What I want accomplished
9
Key Results
• Clearly make the objective possible
• Measurable
• Limited in number
• Time related
How I will accomplish it
10
Why use OKRs?
• Disciplines thinking
• Communicates accurately
• Inspires confidence that
everyone is working together
• Establishes indicators for
measuring progress
• Focuses effort
• Know exactly what you’re
working on
OKRs tell you & your team what you’re doing
THIS quarter & importantly, what you are NOT.
Rick Klau
Product Partner at Google Ventures

Some Best Practices to Remember
• Focus on 3-5 objectives at a time
‒ With 3-5 key results for each
• At least 60% of objectives should be
bottom up
- Too much top-down dictation kills
motivation and aspiration
• Performance evaluations should be
completely separate from OKRs
- Keeping the two separate encourages
workers to set aspirational OKRs
- Tying the two together stunts
innovative thinking, and leads to
sandbagging
16
Grading OKRs
• Grading and reflecting on past OKR progress is critical for setting future OKRs
• According to John Doerr & Google, a total grade of 60 - 70% = sweet-spot
Larry’s Objective Win Super Bowl Owner Status Grade
• 1. 200 yards a game passing attack Jeff • 250 yrds/game
• 2. 3rd ranked defense in NFL Joe • 9th ranked defense
• 3. 25 yard punt return average Aaron • 10 yrds punt return avg

Taking OKRs to the Next Level
• They have not reached their full
potential
‒ Held back by antiquated
implementation
• OKRs are powerful when they are:
‒ Adaptable and dynamic. Not static
‒ Open and connected. Not siloed
• Fortunately, innovative technologies
and Goal Science™ are bringing OKRs
into the modern age Kris Duggan
CEO of BetterWorks
“OKRs are a timeless framework, but the methods for
implementing them are antiquated. They need to be modernized.”

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Goal Science thinking is a set of principles that help employees set better goals, and achieve them.
