How My Team Got Started with OKRs
My team recently started helping our clients to create accountability and transparency through Viva Goals, and understanding OKRs has been foundational to enabling success. I'll share how we got started with OKRs: 1. First, we sought to understand the difference between OKRs and other goal setting frameworks. For example, in my experience as a Strategy & Operations professional, I was much more acquainted with KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) than I was OKRs. I found that KPIs are a measurable way to understand performance, but they are missing some key elements that OKRs bring to the table: the "why?" behind the measure, and the "how will we get there?" steps to achieve it. 2. Next, we took advantage of the Viva Goals materials within Microsoft Learn. There is a wealth of training courses and information there that really helped us in our learning journey. 3. Lastly, we practiced using OKRs! We set OKRs for every engagement now, and not only has it been a great way to grasp the concept -- it has enabled us to set aspirational goals and go back regularly to measure how we are performing against what we set out to do.
