What it is for:Objectives and key results (OKRs) is a goal-setting method. You leave with one to three objectives for the period, each with two to four key results, baselines, targets, owners and a check-in date.
Who it helps:Teams and leaders setting quarterly goals, especially when people are busy but cannot say what difference their work makes.
When to use it
At the start of a quarter, to turn a broad priority into something a team can track.
When a team is busy but cannot say what difference its work is making.
When several teams need to pull in the same direction without a heavy planning process.
How to use it
Write one meaningful objective in plain language.
Draft measurable key results that show an outcome changing.
Cut to two to four, dropping tasks dressed as results.
Set a baseline and target for each and name an owner.
Agree a short check-in every two weeks to update figures and next steps.
Tip:Read the objective aloud. If nobody in the room would care whether it happened, rewrite it.
