OKR

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a goal-setting method designed to align individual, team and organizational objectives.

How do you create this alignment with OKRs?

1. Identify inspiring objectives before defining indicators (focused on raison d'être).
2. Link these objectives to measurable, time-bound (measurable) results.
3. Link objectives and key results to concrete projects and action lists (operational).
4. Decline the organization's OKRs within each team, then for each individual (alignment and commitment).

Differences between OKRs and KPIs

Although OKRs and KPIs both contribute to assessing performance and measuring results, their approach differs:

• KPIs (Key Performance Indicators): focused on performance management and monitoring.
• OKRs: focused on defining objectives and overall alignment within the organization.

Differences between OKRs and SMART objectives

SMART objectives lie between KPIs and OKRs:

• SMART objectives: suitable for individual employees, as they set precise, measurable and realistic targets.
• OKRs: best suited to deploying inspiring, collaborative goals across the organization.

OKRs are a powerful tool for mobilizing all employees around a shared vision, while making progress measurable and concrete.
