Description
John Doerr reveals how the goal-setting system of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has helped tech giants achieve explosive growth-and how it can help any organization thrive.
In the 1990s, Doerr met with the founders of a start-up that had received a significant investment from him. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, but no real business plan. To change the world, they needed to make tough choices on priorities and track their progress.
Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: OKRs. This system defines what we seek to achieve with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. The benefits are profound, as OKRs surface an organization's most important work, focus effort and foster coordination, and keep employees on track.
