The New OKR Crash Course: An introduction to Objectives & Key Results

OKR (Objectives & Key Results) is a goal setting method and a goal management framework that helps companies turn strategy into measurable and inspiring goals everyone can work toward.
Soon after tech companies like Google, Intel, and LinkedIn started setting OKRs, OKR spread to organizations across all sizes and industries all over the world.
In this video, Henrik-Jan van der Pol gives a short introduction to OKR. Henrik-Jan is the CEO of Perdoo, a partner for strategy execution and OKR that uses coaching and software to help organizations turn ambition into reality.

GREAT overview: Definition, history, context, examples, and approaches in 11 minutes. That's hard to do. Nice work ... must have had an OKR driving it.

[@aartipradhan4387]

It keeps people focused on the important goals, while not ignoring smaller tasks. Overall, OKRs provide a great boost to an organization's focus and productivity.

[@nmeadows65]

Great explanation. Our organization has been using KPIs and have basically modified them into OKRs without realizing there was an actual methodology already in place. Glad to find it formally declared!

[@reemaali4647]

hey, can I ask how your organization evaluate okrs? and are they included in the performance review? if not, how do they reward high performers ? what happens to those who simply don't use okrs? thank you (sorry I asked way too many questions)

[@varmajikevideos5664]

Thank you for useful information

[@jensholze7218]

Hello, Hendrik, your videos are really good. I just read a good article about "Why OKRs fail". I think it might be a good addition to include some of the information in this video. Or maybe that would be a topic for a separate video.

[@Perdoo]

Thanks Jens. Where can we find the article that you are referring to?

[@sushcharpe]

Thank you for information.

[@ntcuong01ct1]

Dear Friends, We always see positive OKR means always growing. So is there any case where OKR has a negative value?. If yes, please give an example?. Thank you.

[@MichaelEllis1]

I went to Purdue University and I lead the alumni group of an undergraduate organization. I'm starting my implementation of OKRs and it would be really cool if your name was somehow related to the University. @Perdoo

[@shahbaazali6401]

Hey Henrik, Thanks for such a great crash course! I got to learn a lot of new things, and honestly can't wait to implement them. I had a question, I am managing an e-commerce consultancy based in Malaysia, and a big number of our clients rely on us to manage their e-commerce stores. (From marketing to fulfillment) , does it make sense to do OKRs for each of our client's stores that we are managing, and then tie it with our own primary business OKR - which could be - "Give our clients the best e-store management experience they can find"? Would really appreciate your help!

[@OrganizationalEngineering]

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I am curious what you came up with.

[@harshavala7850]

[@shrabanibasu3842]

Unique take

[@SergoSS79]

Would you recommend the OKR for a new startup (first 6 month) with 3-4 people working on it and still trying to define the usp of the product, the nische and maybe even do the pivot?

[@Perdoo]

Yes, I do. But you probably want to work with monthly OKRs instead of quarterly, as things simply change much quicker for you than for an established company. Working with OKRs and following a closing processes that encourages your team to document their learnings will massively increase your learning curve and beat the competition.
