Many companies adopt the OKR system to increase their alignment and execution, but most continue to focus more on output than on outcomes that deliver true value to their businesses. If OKRs are adopted well, they can be instrumental in defining a company's objectives, aligning its teams, and continuously learning from changing business requirements.
In this module, the leaders of Roche, Suncorp, and 7-Eleven will show how they used OKRs to enhance collaboration, foster alignment within their organizations, and link strategy to execution. They will show, through examples, how OKRs can enable organizations to rise above conventional metrics by enhancing transparency, empowering teams, and emphasizing results for customers and the organization.
Key takeaways from this talk include:
Understanding the difference between OKRs and KPIs, and why OKRs are designed to drive outcomes rather than simply measure performance.
Learning how organizations can use OKRs to align strategy, improve collaboration, and create shared accountability across teams.
Discovering practical approaches for using OKRs to shift from delivering outputs to delivering measurable business impact through continuous learning and improvement.
