Our START plan is a first-of-its-kind, self-serve plan for startups, small and medium sized businesses that fixes the formerly missing piece of the OKR puzzle to help young or smaller companies successfully implement OKRs and reap the benefits that proper goal-setting, tracking and managing provides.
We have recently announced our Series A, and the injection of capital is already visible on our roadmap. Q1 2020 represents the most significant update to the Gtmhub platform to date. The central theme of Q1 is – agile at scale. How does one introduce OKRs to 5,000 people? How do we make sure 22,000 people follow
How OKRs enable organizations to go from a compliant workforce to a committed workforce.
In times past, I spent many an hour worrying about goal setting and OKRs in particular. For me, concerns usually fell into one of 5 big buckets: Defining inspirational OKRs . . . Not sure about you, but I find that creating inspiration is hard work! Stretch goals. . . Can’t I just focus on
Now you can use Gtmhub’s Approval Workflow feature to be sure that your key stakeholders and participants are actively engaged with your OKR initiative – and to identify and fix misalignments or confusions before the start of each OKR period. Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) aren’t some form of magic. Alas, you can’t just hire
If you’ve made the decision to implement OKRs in your organization, this article is for you. Maybe OKRs are new to you or perhaps you’ve tried implementing the methodology in your organization before with lackluster results. Either way, you want your team to succeed. Here are some tips to help your team adopt OKRs successfully.
It is said that sales “lives by the number”. That number is usually some variation of revenue (bookings, billings, MRR, ARR…). The problem is that this number, as Jeff Bezos puts it, is an output variable, something that is an outcome of various inputs that we can control. So, the question is – what can
The use case of weighted key results is that some key results are more important than others – hence progress on the important key results should count for more than progress on the other key results. Here is a quick example that we hear a lot: Objective: Accelerate growth KR 1: Hit $40m in revenue
Have you ever wondered how other companies and organizations run their OKRs? What is common and what is rare? Are you doing the best practices or are you being exotic with your particular take? Wonder no more. At Gtmhub we serve over 300 organizations with tens of thousands of users – so we have a
When just starting with OKRs, many organizations decide to start with something simple – often a Google Sheets or Excel template. Most people think that an OKRs platform can only help them once they master OKRs, but good OKR software can help you along the whole journey. Ultimately, an organization will use OKRs and Gtmhub
The key question is not whether to use OKRs or KPIs. Rather the opportunity is to use both OKRs and KPIs to drive positive change, while managing the business as usual in the best way possible.
Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is one the worlds largest banks. It is also one of the worlds most troubled banks, with several long lasting hangovers still inflicting pain years after the party ended (Financial Crisis, PPI, etc). The RBS Digital Dashboard In its most recent update to the market, reporting its Q1, 2019 results,
The worlds largest banks are playing catch up. After retreating to lick their wounds after the near death experience of the Great Financial Crisis ten year ago, banks are back, fighting to demonstrate that innovation is not just a game for trendy startups. Mention the phrase “Core Banking Systems” you may either draw a blank
One of the best things about OKRs is that they are a very quantitative, unbiased way to track goals and measure success. When you quantify your goals through key results, there is no much room for interpration. If you decided that you will get 20 customer testimonials, than you progress is pretty clear – regardless

At the beginning of each quarter, the very first OKR I define for myself is a meta-objective: Kill it with OKRs. I’ve shared this practice with numerous people, and many think that this is some dogfooding exercise – us being the OKR Platform vendor. But, no – it’s not that. As a CEO, I think that
One of the pillars of OKRs and the Gtmhub Platform is Transparency. We believe the more information a company gives about the key priorities and progress towards these goals, the more this helps align and engage employees. To help provide more context and transparency around OKRs, we are updating a few sections of our product
OKRs are a white-hot topic at the moment. The management methodology which took roots in technology companies of Silicon Valley is now being implemented by banks, cities, corporates; small startups and world’s largest enterprises equally. While there is undeniable hype around OKRs, some are wondering if the whole thing is not just a fad. Is
Don’t treat Execution like the Ugly Duckling. It’s really a beautiful swan that can save both your Purpose and Strategy from languishing in misunderstood and much ignored irrelevance.
Here at Gtmhub, we believe that when companies are explicit about their goals and have every team & individual in the organization aligned to those goals, the company is much more likely to be successful. And today, we are excited to make alignment easier and more transparent through Gtmhub with the ability to visualize alignment
At the start of each quarter, one of the things I enjoy the most is setting passive-aggressive OKRs. Yeah, I am a lot of fun to work with. In general, I think people underestimate the potential of fringe management approaches such as embracing awkwardness or practicing the art of passive-aggressiveness – but, that’s a whole another
OKRs are simple, but not easy. The main problem people have when defining their OKRs is switching from an output (what I need to do) to an outcome (what I need to achieve) mindset. This is particularly true in functions such as software development, where releasing features [on time] and fixing bugs has traditionally been

Over the past years, we have made sure that we not only develop a product that is enjoyable to use but also made sure that our customers and us can have peace of mind knowing that their data is secure with
There is a lot of talk about the value (or not) of stretch goals. Practiced and preached for decades, stretch goals are not new. However, in our experience, we see an emerging misunderstanding of what stretching means, and how to achieve stretch performance.
When we first introduced the Hub, it only displayed Key Results so that anyone could easily find and update them. With the improvements below, all users will benefit from a view that is richer in context, and that makes updating and reviewing progress very easy. Here are two new things that will make the
What is relevance? Yuval Noah Harari’s latest book, 21 lessons for the 21st Century is a great quick read. Describing how new technologies are impacting labour markets, Harari identifies a new threat to workers everywhere: irrelevance. Whereas workers in the 20th century were at risk of exploitation, in the future, billions of workers will face the prospect
