Publisher's summary

Objectives and Key Results is the first full-fledged reference guide on Objectives and Key Results, a critical-thinking framework designed to help organizations create value through focus, alignment, and better communication. Written by two leading OKRs consultants and researchers, this audiobook provides a one-stop resource for organizations looking to quantify qualitative goals. You'll learn how OKRs came to be and how leading companies use them every day to help teams and employees stretch their thinking about what's possible, build their goal-setting muscles, and achieve results that reflect their full potential.

OKRs help employees work together, focus effort, and drive the organization forward. Key results are used to define what it means to achieve broad, qualitative goals, and imperatives like “do it better” are transformed into clear, measurable markers. From the framework's inception in the 1980s to its popularity in today's hyper-competitive environment, OKRs make work more engaging and feature frequent feedback cycles that enable workers to see the progress they make at work each and every day. This audiobook shows you everything you need to know to implement OKRs effectively.

Nice overall summary

Very helpful overview. Authors addressed important nuances in OKR implementation. For example, the discussion around whether to and if so, how to tie compensation to OKRs was interesting and helpful. Particularly appreciated the quick case studies at the end. Those provided helpful insights into how companies customized the principles to their teams.

OKR Implementation to Sustainability

We’re a $2b e-commerce company implementing OKRs. This book was exactly what I needed to feel confident in the strategic vision. We started by reading Measure What Matters, a perfect book to inspire change. I needed more knowledge and this book carried the inspiration for change to a strategic road map for sustainability.
