OKR-D
Objectives, Key Results and Deliverables
OVERVIEW
OKR-D is the evolved OKR method designed to enhance strategic, tactical, and operational alignment in institutions by effectively linking objectives, key results, and deliverables. It categorizes objectives into operational, innovative, and transformational for a three-dimensional perspective.
- The essence of OKR-D: Sets clear and measurable goals, adaptable to institutional changes.
- Integration and Alignment: Facilitates strategic connection and tactical-operational alignment within institutions, linking objectives, results, and deliverables.
- Advantages: Promotes integrated and adaptive planning, guiding organizations in facing challenges and seizing opportunities.
COMPONENTES OF OKR-D
- Objectives (O): Clear statements about intended achievements.
- Key Results (KR): Quantifiable measures to monitor the achievement of objectives.
- Deliverables (D): Products or services of a team, resulting from the work of its members.
NEED FOR A SPECIFIC METHOD
- Limitations of Generic Methods: "One size fits all" models do not adapt well to the specificity of deliverables or the diverse needs of each team.
- Challenge: Aligning the generation of products and services with strategy, overcoming the gap between operational and strategic planning.
PLANNING STRUCTURE
- Levels of Planning: Answers the questions "what" (deliverables), "why" (strategy), and "how" (work management).
- Differentiation of Objectives: Operational (focus on efficiency), innovative (improvement), and transformational (major strategic leaps).
- Measuring Progress: Through results and deliverables, indicating advancements towards the goals.
STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT
- Organization Shaped by Strategy: Organizational structure should reflect the strategy, not the other way around.
TEMPORALITY OF OBJECTIVES AND RESULTS
- Independence of Objectives and Results: Objectives and results are not limited to predefined cycles.
- Planning Cycles: Focused on generating deliverables and progress towards results and objectives.
OKR-D CYCLE
- Definition: Understanding the organization's vision and mission to define inspiring objectives, measurable KRs, and deliverables.
- Execution: Continuous monitoring and check-in meetings.
- Review: Evaluation of execution, results, and reflection on learnings.
- Adjustment and Renewal: Based on learned lessons, adjustments to the OKR-D, and cycle renewal.
CYCLE FEATURES
- Flexibility: Adaptation to changes.
- Continuous Learning: Focus on both achieving goals and learning from the process.
- Collaboration and Transparency: Involvement and sharing among team members.
CONCLUSION
- Innovation and Integration: OKR-D is an innovative planning method, integrating objectives, results, and deliverables, adaptable to changes and aligned with institutional strategy, while also taking into account the unique characteristics and diverse needs of each team.
- Improvement of Institutional Performance: Encourages continuous learning, collaboration, and transparency, optimizing management and maximizing the achievement of results.
