OKRs: A powerful framework for improvement.

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are a framework for setting and tracking organizational goals and progress. They are used to align the organization's goals with its strategy, and ensure that everyone is working towards the same objectives. OKRs have three key elements: objectives, key results, and metrics.

  • Objectives: Objectives are the specific, measurable outcomes that the organization wants to achieve. They are usually high-level and focus on the big picture of what the organization wants to achieve.

  • Key Results: Key results are the specific, measurable actions that need to be taken to achieve the objectives. They are usually more specific and tactical than objectives, and are used to measure progress towards the objectives.

  • Metrics: Metrics are the data and measurements that are used to track progress towards the key results. They are used to measure the success of the OKRs and identify areas for improvement.

OKRs can be used to measure and improve meeting culture by setting specific, measurable objectives and key results for meetings. This can help to make meetings more productive and engaging, and track progress towards those objectives. Read on for 10 suggestions how to use OKRs to improve your meeting culture.
