Hi
I’m sure that, as CIO, you have heard of the OKR Framework. But, have you started using it yet? Have you tried to use it but it didn’t work out for you?
If you have, I’d really appreciate a conversation with you to find out how you’re using the framework, how it’s working for you, and what advice you might have for others. I ask that you go to my calendar and select a time, best suited to you. The conversation will be via Zoom or Google Meet.
If you have not started using it yet, or tried and gave up, please have a look at this Forrester article “Using OKRs to Optimize Business Value of Technology Investments”.
In this article, the author, Margo Visitacion, shows tech execs how to start with a pilot program to provide a relevant objective, identify cross-functional key results, time-box the time periods to collaboratively measure OKRs, and use defined key results to focus work.
And, if you would like assistance, or more information, please just reply to this email and I will be in touch directly. We are specialists at helping organisations use the OKR Framework to link strategy with execution and performance.
The OKR Framework is well established and used by many of the global organisations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Dropbox, LinkedIn, and many others. Google started using the framework in 1998 with 60 people. They continue to use it today and Larry Page attributes OKRs to helping the organisation grow 10x many times over.
Set up an appointment in my calendar, or reply to this email. I’d love to help you build alignment around strategic plans and demonstrate the ability to deliver the business value of technology using the OKR Framework.
