It is a flexible, collaborative goal-setting framework invented by “Intel” Corporation, and is a framework that gained wide popularity after being used by Google more than 20 years ago. It is no secret that major technology companies and emerging companies choose the objectives key results and that various sectors, from the finance sector to the manufacturing sector, have widely adopted this framework.
Defining a goal is the direction in which everyone in the organization should strive to answer the question “Where to?”
The key results come from measuring progress towards this objective.
Initiatives answer this question and are the tasks that drive progress towards key results.
One of the reasons behind the interest in the Objectives Key Results methodology is that it provides solutions for the following cases:
- Work in competitive markets, and the only way to survive is “excellent” performance and the intensity and alignment of resources.
- Recruitment, rapid growth, and management of an internal change process and at the work environment level.
- Manage the challenges related to the different offices and workforce.
- The need to clarify priorities and solve problems.
- There are differences among the work teams regarding compatibility and alignment
- Failure to achieve objectives and not to complete major initiatives on time or not to achieve them at all.
