Explain the impact of employees on the company's overall strategy

Create a set of OKRs within the company and align them with the highest-level OKRs to highlight the unique contributions of the organization, from teams to individuals.

Ability to facilitate two-way learning

Analyze OKR scores within the company and understand the company's execution results

Potential advantages when OKRs are linked to individuals:

Potential drawbacks when linking OKRs to individuals:

Instead of thinking too hard about how many OKRs are appropriate, it’s better to spend time thinking about how to be more focused (the original intention of setting the number of OKRs)

Every OKR nexus group must answer one basic question:

Teams preparing to create and connect OKRs should first create a mission that demonstrates their value.

Make sure everyone in the organization understands they:

Business units are studying company OKRs and answering a question:

Why are you implementing OKRs, what have you done so far, and what are your expectations for this meeting?

A wealth of OKR training materials (articles, books, presentations, etc.) have been prepared for the entire company. In the spirit of over-communication, use this opportunity to ensure that all participants’ OKR awareness is raised to the same level.

A comprehensive review of the document and a brief review of key issues will suffice.

Allow 90 minutes for the team to create their business unit’s first OKR

Give each team about 10 minutes to share their team’s OKRs and answer questions

Discuss with other relevant business teams (teams that need to cooperate with or rely on the other party’s cooperation)

Each team carefully reviews, refreshes, and refines their own OKRs based on feedback from other colleagues.

Each team publishes updated OKRs again and answers questions raised by everyone

Knowledge and experience flow back from the bottom to the top, forming a never-ending cycle

Make sure your most important objectives are fully covered across the enterprise

See a fair proportion of vertical and horizontal alignment in linked OKRs

Indicator levels reflect a moderate level of challenge while still being within the team’s control

The fundamental purpose of the connection: Can the achievement of this OKR promote the achievement of one or more OKRs in the company?

Connections allow individuals to use their creativity when formulating OKRs

Creativity has margins and ensures everyone follows consistent rules
