OKR University

Objectives and Key Results, OKRs, are a powerful goal-setting framework that has helped businesses grow from start-ups to industry leaders. The key to having a successful OKR program is knowing what you can do to prepare your company and iterate your methods so that you can achieve more, more efficiently. In this blog section, we’re dedicated to just that: helping you improve your OKR program. You can find articles in this section that explain why spreadsheets aren’t the OKR solution you need, how to use the precise PEEL approach to OKRs, and answer your burning questions such as: are OKRs replacing KPIs?
