  • Résumé

  • Thinking about implementing OKRs? Your first instinct might be to shop for an OKR tool - but that could be setting yourself up for failure. In this candid Thinkydoers Short, strategy coach Sara Lobkovich explains why starting with software often backfires, and shares a proven alternative with a methodology-focused approach that will set your organization up for long-term OKR success. Episode Highlights: Common pitfalls of taking a tool-first approach to OKR implementationWhy methodology must come before softwareHow to track OKRs effectively without specialized toolsA practical timeline for OKR implementation that sets you up for successSigns that your organization is actually ready for an OKR tool Key Takeaways: Tools alone don't solve the core challenges of implementing OKRsStart with company-level OKRs and establish strong methodology before scalingSimple tracking methods like spreadsheets can work well in early stagesLet organizational demand drive tool adoption rather than forcing itFocus on behavior change and culture shifts before investing in software Notable Quotes: “ People need an OKR process that isn't yucky. If it's yucky, then they're going to do all sorts of work for a process that might generate a pretty dashboard for the leaders. But we want people to love our OKR implementations. We want people -- not just leaders -- to see the benefit of OKR implementations.” "We want to focus on Objectives and Key Results as continuous learning, and we want to keep our tools and ops simple." "We let folks struggle until they're suffering with the lack of software, and then that makes our software adoption so much more successful." "What's ultimately most important is that leaders need objective information to make decisions."
