It began to spread among companies in 1999 and became known for being the method that supported the growth of Google, demonstrating that it could be used by both small businesses and large corporations. In the same year, the company had 40 people, and currently, it has more than 85,000.<\/p>\n<p>OKRs consist of two main components: objectives, a concise statement of the desired direction of the company, taking into account the strategies, mission, and values of an organization; and Key Results, goals with a direct impact on the achievement of the objective if successfully attained.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, all employees have clarity about the goal to be achieved and the indicator that demonstrates its successful accomplishment. The methodology aligns individual executions in different areas with the overall goals of the company, directly impacting the increase in the performance of everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other methods, OKRs are best applied in short-term planning, up to 3 to 4 months. They can be used complementarily to the strategic and annual planning of the organization since one of the main aspects to be considered for the elaboration of objectives and goals is to start from the strategic or annual planning of the organization.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Choose OKRs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the clarity of goals through clear and measurable objectives, OKRs also help focus the company\u2019s efforts and resources on the most important goals, increasing team efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Innovation and creativity are challenged through the methodology, as employees are encouraged to seek innovative solutions and experiment with different approaches to achieve the desired results.<\/p>\n<p>OKRs require regular review, allowing the assessment of actions that worked or not, and the application of lessons learned in future cycles. This way, it will also be possible to identify learning opportunities and skills that can still be developed by the team.<\/p>\n<p>Other benefits such as organizational alignment, transparency, and engagement, improvement in communication, increased responsibilities, and constant encouragement of a culture of improvement also deserve to be highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the difference between OKRs and other methodologies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The goals defined through the method are set for a shorter time, making the result more tangible and allowing corrections throughout the cycle.<\/li>\n<li>Key results are reported weekly, making it possible to anticipate the end of the quarter and recover to achieve the established goal. If unsuccessful, the next cycle can be used to implement new learnings.<\/li>\n<li>The tool prioritizes transparency, so everyone can see the company\u2019s OKRs, and leaders and managers clearly address the company\u2019s priorities and how they will unfold through objectives and key results.<\/li>\n<li>The data-driven culture is reinforced, as decisions are made based on data, through various analyses conducted during the period.<\/li>\n<li>The methodology measures the result and not the effort of tasks, as commonly used in traditional management methodologies. In other words, if you put a lot of effort into a task and still didn\u2019t achieve your goal, it\u2019s time to rethink the approach.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>OKRs vs. KPIs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve already talked about\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/conteudo\/por-que-voce-deveria-utilizar-indicadores-chave-de-desempenho-kpis\/\">KPIs<\/a>, key performance indicators, on our blog.<\/p>\n<p>Among many differences, we can mention the main one that will assist you in differentiation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15322\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en-1067x600.png 1067w, https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en-600x338.png 600w, https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/info-okr-x-kpi-en-150x84.png 150w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Doerr\u2019s OKR Formula<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure about how to create OKRs and whether they will really work, just use John Doerr\u2019s formula. John is considered one of the most successful technology investors, starting his career at Intel and continuing with investments in companies like Google and Amazon. His formula consists of:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will (objective) measured by (key result).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For him, a good goal should list what will be achieved and how we will measure its accomplishment; that\u2019s what makes the goal real. Without a way to measure, it\u2019s just a wish.<\/p>\n<p>For example:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will rebalance the company\u2019s finances, reducing debt with banks to less than R$2 million in 3 months.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips for Implementing OKRs in Practice:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Establish new OKRs every 3 months.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Define a maximum of 5 key results per objective.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Assign responsibilities for each objective.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Communicate the OKRs throughout the entire company.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 If you have never used the methodology, consider starting with a single OKR and a shorter duration than the methodology suggests.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Remember to celebrate small victories with your team.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Focus on goals and results; completing tasks does not guarantee success.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Consider that the tasks proposed to achieve key results are hypotheses or attempts; focusing only on these activities can give a false sense of mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 The goals and objectives of different departments should never conflict with the goals and objectives of the organization or other departments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Author:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15319 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/autor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"151\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tain\u00e1 Klein\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Project Consultant in the Projects Area at Interact Solutions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15320 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.interactsolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/bianca-wermann.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"151\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bianca Wermann<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Journalist, Communication and Marketing Analyst at Interact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The method created in the 1970s by one of the founders of Intel is a simple, flexible and agile management model whose goal is to engage employees and elevate the productivity levels of the company.
