OKR Insights

Strategy meets Execution

Not every team that decides to implement OKRs will succeed in doing so. We, at Gtmhub – just as other vendors – will give advice and point out solutions, but the fact is that OKRs are not a right fit for every team. In this post we will share what we’ve learned over the years working

Why do OKRs fail?

Start with OKRs

Originally developed at Intel and now used by companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook, OKRs have a proven track record of getting results for large-scale enterprises.

Going Big: OKRs for large businesses

It’s easy to associate OKRs with large companies rather than startups and small businesses. But, as industry guru John Doerr says in Measure What Matters: “At smaller start-ups, where people absolutely need to be pulling in the same direction, OKRs are a survival tool.”

You know that earlier this year we introduced the industry-first Marketplace to help you ‘quick-start’ and successfully maintain an OKR process at your organization. And you remember how we promised to open the platform to contributors? We did just that.

Instead of working directly with the 3rd party data source, you can now make your Insights work with Virtual Data Sources, which can contain complex logic, aggregate various data sources and do any data preparation at one single place.

Let’s START Accelerating Your Growth In 2020: Democratizing OKRs for All

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 the agreed-upon OKR process?

Don't tell me what to do

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!

A Contrarian Approach to OKRs

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

6 tips to prevent failure in OKR implementation (Part 1)

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

Why does Gtmhub not support weighted key results?

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.

How companies run OKRs according to data

When just starting with OKRs, many organizations decide to start with Google Sheets or Excel templates. But the reality is that good OKR software helps you along the whole journey.

OKRs: Gtmhub vs Spreadsheets

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.

Innovation at Scale in Financial Services

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 if you have collected 4 or 15 of them.
