Agile goal setting with OKR methodology
OKR Productive24 is a flexible application for comprehensive management and monitoring of OKR (Objectives & Key Results), enabling the determination of objectives, their modification and enforcement. Thanks to this, the organization can constantly supervise all changes and take them into account when planning the strategy of goal management.
OKRs for large companies
Although the OKR method is mainly associated with smaller, agile organizations, it can be successfully scaled and applied to larger companies hiring hundreds or thousands of employees. The key to effectively implement the OKR in large organizations is taking into account local conditions on a global level – common objectives but differentiated key results (e.g. depending on geographical area).
Why is it worth using OKRs in large enterprises?
OKRs have helped lead us to 10x growth, many times over. They’ve helped make our crazily bold mission of organizing the world’s information’ perhaps even achievable.
Larry Page
Co-founder Google
