Organisations that execute successfully have a way of working and culture in place that enable goals to be met. The operating system and culture transcends any single tool or framework. That said, a methodology is useful, but should serve the principles necessary for successful strategy execution – principles of alignment, focus, transparency, accountability, and so forth.
OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) is a goal management methodology that addresses these principles. It breaks down the organisation’s strategic priorities into shorter-term goals that focus on the measurable impact on the business. These goals can then be cascaded into the rest of the organisation, ensuring focus on the most important goals for the business and alignment of efforts vertically and horizontally.
