OKR target management: OKR promotes enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency and reduce communication costs.
It's the year again, and many companies are talking about reducing costs and increasing efficiency, but what costs do organizations need to reduce?What are the efficiencies and benefits to be enhanced?A lot of companies can't say clearly. According to our experience in the actual operation of OKR, we found that after the introduction of OKR, it played a decisive role in reducing the cost and increasing the efficiency of the organization.
From the perspective of cost reduction, the cost of communication within an organization is huge and staggering. The root cause of many problems comes from the effectiveness of communication, and the introduction of OKR will completely reduce the cost of communication within the organization and release huge organizational resources. In the process of introducing OKR, it is found that the most easily ignored cost is the internal communication cost, because this cost structure is difficult to quantify and visualize in the short term, and it is often ignored in the long term, and it is part of the business activities organized by the municipal party committee.
In fact, the cost of communication within the organization is devouring the limited resources of the organization and consuming a lot of time cost for the enterprise. Before the introduction of OKR, we observed that the internal business communication of the enterprise was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the effect was poor.
First, the high-level strategic deployment, the middle level lacks strategic understanding and comprehension, and does not recognize and accept the high-level strategic outlook and tactics, and is forced to adopt functional divisions and clear action boundaries in order to determine the attribution of responsibility;
Second, in the process of task decomposition, the middle level is guided by cross-thinking, rigid decomposition and information transmission, and under the premise of lack of deep identity, the grassroots are required to achieve tasks that they cannot control at all, or vague matters, lack of necessary party and technical guidance, and the middle and grassroots are in a state of game for a long time
Thirdly, the grassroots base will carry out business implementation based on their own understanding, with reference to the information and instructions of their superiors, and with their past experience with their superiors and the company.
This kind of operational efficiency and effect can be imagined, after the introduction of OKR, the communication cost of organizational operation will be rapidly reduced, as shown by:
1. Top-down and bottom-up goal setting, complete consensus and co-creation, and form basic consistency and information symmetry;
2. The determination of the team's quarterly OKRs, re-consensus and focus, and more clarity and convergence on the business direction and action plan;
3. Week-granular OKRs will execute details and outputs, as well as blockers and stuck points, align and calibrate again. OKR Objective Management Method
