Why you should go for OKR coaching?
Larry Page, the American computer Scientist, and Entrepreneur who created the popular Google search engine believed that if a team sets a goal to reach the planet Mars, they are at least likely to get to the moon in case anything falls short. To achieve something extraordinary, we require a scalable system of growth. And that is the reason why the traditional business approach is being surrogated by the Objective and Key Results Tool popularly known as the OKR.
This simple setting goal system was invented in the 1970s by Dr. Andy Grove. It addresses the ‘what’ and ‘how’ of things that need to be done by writing down the objectives and the way results will be achieved. Recognizing the importance of execution over knowledge, the OKR goal-setting tool is proliferating with several organizations hiring OKR consultants or trainers for their growth. How does this system build a progressive culture? OKR has an edge over retrospective and backward-looking annual growth systems and offers 5 key advantages meaningfully abbreviated as F-A-C-T-S. If you are considering OKR consulting for your organization, these payoffs are worth looking into:
1. FOCUS: Special focus on goal-setting and bottom-up communication ensures that everyone owns the idea of growth and not just the managers and executives. Engagement, efficiency, and involvement are the focal points that give optimal results.
2. ALIGNMENT: The goals are clear and transparent and it ensures a significant degree of alignment and positioning with everyone in the organization. Individual goals and priorities do not overlap with organizational goals.
3. COMMITMENT: Organisational employees implicitly agree to cooperate for the common goal and provide dedicated efforts towards achieving it.
4. TRACK: Monitoring the progress is continuous and easy when key results are related to the objectives. It can be tracked through days, weeks, or months. This is because the goals are specifically defined and measurable.
5. STRETCH: Considerable accomplishments are made when the system can expand itself to new realms. Growth is in risk-taking and an organization that is reluctant to do this can only limit its success. The OKR system believes in stretching hard enough and far enough to land on unconventional victories.
OKR is the goal-setting framework for thinking big by focusing on small and yet important pieces of growth. Embrace it.
