Using OKR Course in Kenya

When you are a part of a large company, it’s easy to feel out of the loop. To address this, big companies like Intel and Google use OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results methodology, to communicate goals effectively throughout the firm, thus, promoting common language, transparency, accountability, and alignment. Read on and find out how these key reasons contribute largely to a firm’s success.

Objectives and key results (OKR) is a structure for establishing and tracking objectives and their results. The evolution of OKRs is attributed to Andy Grove, who is known as the Father of OKRs. He injected the approach to Intel during his time there and documented this in his book High Output Management. John Doerr explains grove’s easy but effective concept: “The key result has to be measurable. But in the end, you can look, and without any arguments: Did I do that or did I not do it? Yes? No? Easy. No judgments in it.”

OKR include an objective which is a clearly defined goal and one or more key results which are distinct measures used to track the achievement of that goal. The aim of OKR is to distinguished how to achieve objectives through concrete, specific as well as measurable actions. Key results can be measured on a scale of 0 to 100 or any numerical unit such as a dollar amount, percentage, items, clients. Objectives should also be backed by initiatives, which are the projects and activities that serve to achieve the objective and move forth the key results.

In 1975, John Doerr, who was a salesperson working for Intel, went for a course within Intel trained by Andy Grove where he was presented to the theory of OKRs. In 1999 Doerr, who was then working for a company called Kleiner Perkins which is a venture capital firm, introduced the concept of OKRs to a start-up Kleiner Perkins had invested in called Google. The idea took hold, and OKRs soon became the centre to Google’s culture as a “management methodology that helps to make sure that the company concentrates efforts on the same critical issues throughout the organization.” Doerr also wrote a book about the OKR framework titled “Measure What Matters”.

Larry Page, who is the CEO of Alphabet and co-founder of Google credited OKRs within the foreword to Doerr’s book: “OKRs have assisted and lead us to 10x growth, many times over. They’ve assisted our crazily bold mission of ‘organizing the world’s information’ perhaps even achievable. They’ve kept the rest of the company and me on time and on track when it mattered the most.”

Since becoming public at Google, OKRs have found favour with various other similar tech start-up organizations including LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber and Gett. OKRs may be shared throughout the company with the intention of providing teams with clarity of goals with the intention to align and focus effort. OKRs are typically set at the company, team, and personal levels, although there is a critique on this creating too much of a waterfall approach, which, OKRs strives to be the opposite. OKRs overlay with other performance management frameworks – in terms of complexity lying somewhere between KPI and the balanced scorecard. The important advantages of OKRs are focus, alignment and engagement.
