objectives and key results

In this episode, guest host Patricia Kong is joined by Kurt Bittner from Scrum.org and Professional Scrum Trainer Laurens Bonnema from Xebia. They talk about Evidence-Based Management (EBM) and Objectives and Key Results (OKRs), and the importance of focusing on outcomes and delivering value. They discuss:
- The importance of feedback loops
- Measuring and setting goals in business using outcome-oriented metrics
- The differences between EBM and OKRs
- How to combine EBM and OKRs in decision making
-More!

Lack of Alignment, Lack of Focus, Lack of prioritization, Difficulty Measuring Progress , Difficulty Measuring Success, Inefficient Communication and Transparency? Maybe OKRs can help.

In this episode, Jason & Aaron sat down with Tyler Barnett and Matthew Nichols, PhD, from University Hospitals in Cleveland, OH. They discuss the powerful goal-setting framework known as OKRs, or Objectives and Key Results. As leaders within the Population Health and Analytics team at UH, and with expertise in OKRs, Tyler & Matt dive deep into the OKR methodology, share specific examples of how UH has successfully implemented OKRs, and provide insights on how your organization can benefit from OKRs.

An Objective is what you want to achieve, and a Key Result is how you plan to measure that you have achieved your objective.

Bottcher Business Management Agency has helped dozens of high-growth companies successfully implement OKRs and we have learned that organizational focus is by far the most important benefit, followed by accountability. Other benefits are engagement, alignment and transparency.

On this week's show Silicon Valley legend John Doerr helps me make the case for why your team and organization need Key Results. John wrote the highly-insightful book Measure What Matters. In this week's show I use a few clips from John and my own experience with organizations to help explain why some teams execute and others don't. It all begins with clarity and alignment around R2!
