LOKRFT - Overview

hi there.
And welcome to my introduction to OKRS course, or objectives and key results.
You know, this course is all about helping you create real focus for your teams,
align them on what's most important
and connect them with the why behind their work.
Most of all,
it's about helping create that accountability for the team so they know
who's doing what and how they need to drive radical outcomes.
How we actually do that, I'm gonna get to in a moment first a little bit about me.
My name's Tim Newbold. I'm the director of strategy and founder at Skill Fire.
I've used a KRS to help me grow my business and have really had a great time using them.
And and it's been very inspiring for me to see just how
these practises can help you drive focus and outcomes within a business.
But before that, I was actually applying it myself in my own personal life,
and this was about 10 years ago.
For me. I was always very goal oriented.
I was trying to achieve things,
but I'd always find that the work that I did never actually
delivered any material change in my life I would get stuff done,
but I'd be like, OK,
what value does that actually add?
So OKRS helped me connect with the Y and
seeing value and things that I'm trying to achieve.
And so that's where I embraced the OKR in my personal life.
From there I helped many businesses all around Australia
and now the world go through the same journey
everything from your small start ups that are bootstrapping
to your major Corporates that are filled with thousands of people.
I've applied the OKR framework to get that cohesion
and alignment and focus to really drive radical outcomes.
Now I might be making it sound like it's all been a blast,
and I've been incredibly successful off the back of it.
I made a hell of a lot of mistakes more than I'd like to admit,
but through that I've learnt so much and this course condenses
all those learnings down into something that is really bite size,
easy to understand,
but a lot of content with it.
So
we talk about how do you understand the core
concepts of the objectives and key results framework?
I actually give you a pack that you can then
share with teams to help them understand the same thing.
You know,
we've got to get everyone on the same page on what
this is about and how we're going to drive those outcomes
beyond that, we and then actually go about.
How do we go through an introduction to a KRS with our team?
How do we introduce the concept to them? How do we get them bored in on the journey?
Cos this is about change management, remember?
And this is actually a little bit of our secret sauce.
It's talking about creating change through story. And don't worry,
I'm not great at stories. You don't have to be either.
But it's about how do we connect people with why we're doing this?
So we give you a structure to introduce the A KRS to your team.
That's not much good, though, if you don't know how to actually create a good OKR,
right?
So that's where the course actually takes you through the journey of facilitating
an objectives and key results workshop where you can get your team understanding
what is the most important thing we're trying
to achieve right now and how we're gonna
get there you're gonna create outcomes that are
incredibly inspirational and motivating for the team.
You're gonna create key results that just don't tell you where you need to end up.
They're actually gonna give you a measure so that, you know,
you are following the right path along the whole way.
That right there is an absolute game changer.
Yeah,
this course
it's an online course. It's a video.
There is so much content here that you can get templates,
all kinds of things that are just gonna save you.
I don't even wanna admit how many hours it's
taken me to to create this stuff over time.
But trust me, it's gonna save you a lot of time.
On top of that, though,
it is going to be access to our community.
Now you can come to us and ask us any sort of questions that you've got.
So you're not doing this on your own.
You're not just coming online,
watching a few videos and going off and making it happen.
You're going through this with many other people
who have gone through the same thing.
You've got myself and my team that are there to support
you and champion you through this every step of the way.
And also a number of OKR coaches that we have from all around the world
coming in onto our group and helping and supporting you to make this happen.
So look, I can't wait to start working with you. I'm super pumped about this.
We're gonna have an absolute blast working together.
Jump onto the forums. Let's have a discussion. Get started with this course.
I'll see you shortly.

What You'll Get From Leading OKR for Teams

Overview

LOKRFT - The problem with traditional goal setting

To begin, let's consider a powerful quote from Seth Godin, a leading expert in marketing and business strategy:
"The thing about goals is that living without them is a lot more fun in the short run. It seems to me, though, that the people who get things done, who lead, grow, and make an impact. Those people have goals."

This quote underscores the crucial role that well-defined goals play in personal and organizational success, setting the tone for our discussion on OKRs.

To protect the innocent, we've had to adjust these goals. Rest assured, they are based on real examples.

Objectives and Key Results come into play as a sophisticated tool overcoming the limitations of traditional goal setting:

Overcoming Challenges in Goal Comprehension

Research by Franklin Covey reveals startling statistics about goal understanding within companies:

These insights underscore the need for a method that not only clarifies goals but ensures they are universally understood and embraced at all levels of the organization.

Living the Vision, Purpose, and Strategy Daily

OKRs are not just about setting goals; they are about integrating these goals deeply into the day-to-day activities and strategic pursuits of your teams:

This introductory module sets the groundwork for a deeper exploration into implementing and benefiting from OKRs. By understanding the core principles and addressing common pitfalls of traditional goal-setting, your organization can harness the full potential of OKRs to drive substantial, sustainable growth. Stay tuned as we delve further into the practical application and real-world case studies of OKRs in subsequent modules of this course.

Below, you’ll find an accessible guide to understanding the basic structure of OKRs and how to effectively implement them into your own workflows.

 measures the success of an objective. It should be quantifiable, outcome-based, and have a set period for achievement. Key Results act as benchmarks for tracking progress and determining when objectives have been met.

Combining the objective and key results gives a clear snapshot of what success looks like and how it will be measured. Typically, an objective can have multiple key results to cover different aspects of what needs to be achieved.

LOKRFT - What is the Objectives and Key Results Framework

Mastering OKRs: Focusing on What Truly Matters

Welcome to the core of our course where we delve into the essence of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and their fundamental importance in driving strategic execution and alignment within organizations. This section lays a solid foundation for understanding OKRs, their history, application, and the profound impact they can have on your business.

Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) are a management framework used to set and communicate clear objectives and measure progress through specific, quantifiable results. They are designed to create alignment, encourage engagement across teams, and focus effort on meaningful business challenges.

The OKR framework has a storied origin, credited to Andy Grove, former CEO of Intel. Andy introduced OKRs to foster clearer and more consistent goal-setting and execution across the company. The methodology gained considerable fame when John Doerr, one of Grove’s disciples, introduced it to Google, which attributes much of its growth and success to rigorous OKR implementation.

To understand how OKRs drive businesses, imagine a scenario where your company’s ultimate goal is reaching Mars. Here’s how OKRs streamline this complex task:

Integrating OKRs with Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

While OKRs focus on goal achievement, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) serve to monitor the health and stability of your processes. For our Mars mission, while OKRs focus on reaching the destination, KPIs would keep track of vital health metrics like oxygen levels and equipment stability to ensure operational safety.

The effectiveness of OKRs goes beyond their functionality as a buzzword in trendy business dialogues. They demand rigorous implementation and a shift to outcome-based thinking rather than task completion. This transition involves viewing each task and project in light of the broader strategic goals of the organization.

Creating a High-Performing Team with OKRs

Google’s research identified several factors that contribute to high-performing teams, among them:
- Psychological Safety
- Dependability
- Structure & Clarity
- Meaning
- Impact

OKRs intersect deeply with these factors by providing clear direction, measurable goals, and a sense of where individual contributions fit within the larger organizational purpose.

To successfully integrate OKRs into your daily operations, they should not feel like an additional burden to your teams. Instead, they should provide a clear framework that aligns with your business operations and drives focus towards strategic outcomes.

LOKRFT - OKR vs KPI vs Balanced Score Card

Understanding OKRs, KPIs, and the Balanced Scorecard

Today, we're diving into the core differences and functionalities of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and the Balanced Scorecard. Each of these tools serves distinct, yet occasionally overlapping roles in business management, focusing on various aspects of organizational health and strategic alignment. This guide unpacks each component to clarify their purposes and best uses.

KPIs are metrics used to reflect the operational success and health of a business. They are crucial for monitoring the ongoing state of various critical functions within an organization.

OKRs are all about change. They are strategic tools used to set specific objectives and track outcomes via key results, driving alignment and focus throughout the organization.

The Balanced Scorecard provides a holistic view of an organization's performance by incorporating various performance metrics across multiple perspectives.

While KPIs, OKRs, and the Balanced Scorecard can coexist in an organizational strategy, they serve different needs and should not be confused with one another.

Understanding the distinct roles and integration of KPIs, OKRs, and the Balanced Scorecard is essential for effective strategic management. By aligning these tools thoughtfully, organizations can ensure day-to-day health, strategic focus, alignment, and long-term vision are all addressed, driving comprehensive success across all levels of operation.

LOKRFT - Will OKR suit your business?

Enhancing Team Effectiveness with OKRs: Structural Readiness and Strategic Alignment

Welcome to this module where we discuss the effectiveness of implementing Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) within various organizational structures. Determining the suitability of OKRs for your team involves assessing both the business’s readiness for change and the structural dynamics of your team setups.

Before considering OKRs, evaluate if your business is geared towards outcomes rather than outputs. This approach focuses on impact, driving results that matter to the customer, and persistently solving key issues until they are resolved.

Structural Considerations for OKR Implementation

The structure of your teams plays a critical role in how effectively OKRs can be adopted and utilized. We will explore different team configurations and their compatibility with the OKR framework.

Traditional structures where different departments or units depend on each other to complete tasks can hinder the quick realization of OKRs.

To fully leverage the power of OKRs, formulating teams that combine authority, functionality, and a customer-centered focus is ideal. These mission teams are well-equipped to handle challenges fluidly and align closely with OKR principles.

Characteristics of Successful Mission Teams

Before implementing OKRs, ensure that your team structure supports this methodology. This involves more than just teaching the principles of OKRs; it requires aligning your team’s setup with the goals of comprehensive responsiveness, efficiency, and customer-focused outcomes. By adjusting your organizational structure to foster these conditions, OKRs can truly transform your business operations and drive significant improvements in performance and customer satisfaction.

Will OKR suit your business?

LOKRFT - Understanding Leading vs Lagging indicators

Understanding Leading vs. Lagging Indicators in OKRs

Welcome to the crucial section of our course that delves into the differentiation between leading and lagging indicators and their roles in shaping effective OKRs. By comprehending these concepts, you can more effectively drive desired outcomes within your organization.

Indicators play an essential role in measuring performance but understanding the distinction between leading and lagging indicators is fundamental in setting objectives and key results (OKRs) that genuinely impact your organization.

Leading indicators are predictive measures that provide early warning signs of future performance. They help forecast outcomes and allow for timely adjustments in strategies and tactics. For instance, an increase in marketing qualified leads can be a good predictor of future sales and is an excellent example of a leading indicator.

Lagging indicators, on the other hand, reflect past outcomes and confirm long-term trends. They are typically output-focused, like the total sales in a quarter, showing results after they occur. While they are essential for understanding outcomes, they are not always the best measures for driving proactive change.

Understanding and utilizing both types of indicators within the OKRs framework enhances strategic planning and execution. Leading indicators serve as a gauge for the effectiveness of specific actions or strategies, empowering organizations to make adjustments proactively. Lagging indicators, while they report the past, help in validating the success of strategies over time.

Let’s consider a technology product business to illustrate how these indicators interconnect:

Interactive Exercise: Map Out Your Indicators

Now, it’s time to apply this knowledge:

Included in this course are templates and tools designed to help you effectively map out and analyze your business’s indicators. These resources will guide you in visualizing the relationships between different metrics and understanding their impacts on your organizational goals.

By understanding and implementing both leading and lagging indicators in your OKR framework, you equip your organization with the knowledge to not only measure outcomes effectively but also to anticipate and influence future results proactively. This strategic approach allows for more dynamic and successful business planning and execution.

Understanding Moonshot vs. Roofshot Key Results in OKRs

Welcome to the section focused on deciphering the critical concepts of Moonshot and Roofshot key results within the OKRs framework. This guide will help you understand these distinct approaches to setting key results and how they can drive your team towards exceptional performance.

Defining Moonshot and Roofshot Key Results

OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are used to set ambitious goals aimed at pushing boundaries and achieving high growth. The key results can be categorized into two types: Moonshots and Roofshots.

Choosing between Moonshot and Roofshot key results depends largely on your organization's priorities, culture, and readiness for taking risks. By understanding the nuances of each and implementing them strategically, you can drive your team towards achieving remarkable growth and ensuring essential outcomes.

LOKRFT - OKR Workshop Facilitation (in-person and digital)

Comprehensive Guide to Facilitating an OKR Workshop

Welcome to this detailed guide on facilitating an OKR (Objectives and Key Results) workshop. This session is designed to be dynamic and interactive, providing you with step-by-step instructions, downloadable materials, templates, and the necessary framework to lead an effective workshop, whether in person or digitally.

Begin by encouraging participants to envision the final outcomes of their efforts. What changes would signify success? This isn't about what actions will be taken but rather what the results will look like.

Have participants write down potential objectives on post-it notes (physical or digital). Facilitate a voting process to prioritize these objectives based on importance, not just articulation.

Three votes is a good number, but vary it for your group. What do they think is most important? Not the most well-written ones! We're trying to work out what is most important right now. A good way to frame this is by asking everyone "If nothing were to change this quarter except for this one thing, what would that be?"

Look at the votes and find the top objective or group of objectives. Draft that a little bit into a cohesive message. Maybe the most voted objective just nails it straight away, or maybe you need to change it a little to connect some themes.

Step 5: Connect with the Why with an OKR story

Using storytelling techniques, create a compelling narrative behind why this is the right objective to focus on, and the change it will make for your organisation. A useful technique here is the "Hero's Journey."

Transition to identifying key results that indicate progress towards the objectives. Focus on leading indicators that show progress rather than final outcomes. Encourage the creation of several key results, then refine these through group discussion.

This is a useful sense-checking question at this stage to make sure you are focussing on the right area.

Similar to setting objectives, facilitate a voting session to determine which key results are considered most crucial by the team.

Confirm the chosen key results and assign "champions" for each. These individuals are responsible for driving the key results, and maintaining focus and accountability throughout the OKR cycle.

For digital workshops, use Miro to replicate the interactive, collaborative environment of an in-person session. Utilize tools within Miro such as voting functionalities and breakout boards.

For in-person sessions, use physical post-it notes and whiteboards to engage participants and facilitate live interactions.

Running an OKR workshop is crucial in setting the stage for effective goal setting and achievement within your organization. By following this guide, you'll help your team articulate clear goals, engage with their work meaningfully, and drive impactful outcomes.
