What do Google, LinkedIn and Zynga have in common? Yes, they're all massive players in Silicon Valley, but these juggernauts also all use one management method that helps set and communicate goals with ease: OKRs, Objectives and Key Results.

\r\n

This secret sauce is the driving force that moves teams together in the right direction by connecting company, team and personal objectives with measurable results. OKRs consist of a list of objectives and under each objective 3-4 key measurable results with scores of 0 to 1.0, showing its achievement.

\r\n

This technique dates back to 1970’s, when it was first implemented by the President of Intel, Andy Grove. But it’s Google that brought it enormous attention, and currently, it’s spreading like a wildfire to many companies. 

\r\n

The success of this technique is admirable. It has helped the massive Google community work together and keep the company on track. It has helped the Zynga team defeat the competitor and become the #1 iOS poker game. OKRs have also helped the LinkedIn management team stay focused and propel itself to a $20 billion company. Furthermore, it has helped numerous smaller teams hold the company together in a stage of great growth.  

\r\n

Whether measuring annually and quarterly, like Google does, or choosing another time frame, it’s important to remember that:

\r\n\n

With these systems in place, you get a short list of objectives to work against, which increases focus and helps you hit the mark. Due to the popularity of this management method, there are many great tools that help automate the OKR process in your company. Saving you time and providing a clear overview of everyone’s progress.
