Chapter 2
The Benefits of OKRs
IN THIS CHAPTER
Overcoming business challenges with OKRs
Seeing how your company will benefit from OKRs
Discovering how your people will benefit from OKRs
In Chapter 1, I joke that this book may have been given to you by your boss with the strict “suggestion” that you read it right away, even though you’re not a believer in the power of goals. But required reading from the boss is without a doubt a real thing, as I’ve heard from countless clients over the years. Here’s a typical exchange:
- Me: How did you hear about OKRs?
- Prospective client: Our CEO made us … (awkward pause) … we all read a book about OKRs …
If you’ve read the first chapter, I hope you now recognize the value OKRs can bring to your organization, but you’re probably still a bit concerned about the costs of implementing the program. After all, you and your team are swamped already with fires to fight, pressing issues to deal with, figuring out who left the week-old tuna sandwich in the fridge, and a million other problems. Why take on something else now? The answer is simple: because OKRs offer a number of significant and proven benefits to both you and your organization.
