Transform your organization and get everyone pulling in the same direction by doing OKR's better
The spiritual successor to KPIs (key performance indicators), OKRs, or objectives and key results, are rapidly gaining popularity and helping some of the world's most successful businesses solve their strategic execution problems. However, some companies struggle with their implementation, finding that using OKRs as top-down directives changes little.
In OKR's for All, Objectives and Key Results (OKR) expert Vetri Vellore delivers an impactful and actionable guide on how to use OKRs for more than a quarterly, executive-level review tool.

You'll find:
* A seven-part blueprint and framework to strategically put purpose at the center of your work, whether you are a CX, team lead, or individual contributor.
* How to build an OKR strike team, align your departments, manage your people, and roll out your new strategic OS.
