How did you both learn about OKRs and what made you decide that they were right for your organization?
- The initial start with OKR was quite a while ago when we had our first employee in the company. Due to our work with enterprise customers, we already have been aware of better ways to lead people by giving a clear answer to “why”. So, we tried to implement OKRs in our company but actually failed to the lag of transparency. – Setting goals at the beginning of the year is not enough to call it OKR.
It was actually when I first saw about Viva Goals. Seeing that MS had a product focused on this area prompted me to start researching OKRs and I quickly found them to be a useful, strong framework for businesses.
Keeping everyone aligned across an organisation is key and OKRs stood out to me as a great way to do that. I've been part of various different efforts to do this over the years and OKRs struck me as a great solution. The ability to connect the overall company objectives through to team and even individual goals is really powerful - especially in remote and hybrid organisations.
