Objectives and Key Results is, in short, a goal setting framework. Its aim is to create alignment in the organization by fostering independent engagement – and still be measurable when it comes to tracking progress.

It’s not a silver bullet – it’s a way to think through your strategy, question your motivations, and create a common focus for the entire organization. The OKR framework consists of two parts: objectives and key results.

Objectives are where you start. It’s a clear, aspirational statement that can inspire and motivate your organization. OKRs are stretch goals, that is they focus on something beyond business as usual. Great OKRs are easy to understand, inspirational and a bit vague. They’re also the basis of forming your key results.

Key Results are derived from your Objective. If your objective is your end goal, Key Results are how you get there. Great key results, are measurable, objective – and easy to see if you’ve done them. Each objective will have between 3-5 key results attached.
