Business Case: OKR as a Management Method
The OKR method is a proven and highly successful management framework that is currently used by numerous companies as a framework for goal setting. The two central levers here are objectives (“O” for objectives) and results (“KR” for key results).
Companies that want to introduce OKRs or are already working with them must decide which tool to use for implementation. The good news is that OKRs can be perfectly mapped, organized, and tracked in Clarity. Hence, there is no need to implement and work with another tool. We show you how to successfully manage OKRs in Clarity.
Our Solution: Mapping OKRs in Clarity
We are happy to help you configure and implement OKRs in Clarity. The tool offers you two options for mapping your OKRs. As a result, your OKR management runs in the same tool as your PPM, and strategy and objectives are closely linked to day-to-day processes.
The Objectives module is a good start for documenting objectives. However, if it is important for you to link objectives (OKRs) with projects and investments, we recommend that you use Custom Investments. Correlations between strategy, objectives, and results can be mapped and overseen via a hierarchy. We will present the second variant in more detail below.
Thanks to Clarity’s flexibility, you can easily customize all necessary metrics and views as you need them at that moment. Optionally, we integrate your Power BI reports or jointly configure individual dashboards to provide you with up-to-date status reports on the progress of your OKRs at any time.
Visibility of Corporate Goals
With Clarity, OKR and project management come together in one tool. Projects can be linked directly to the associated objectives – for greater transparency and visible employee contributions.
High Usability
OKR work should inspire and be fun. In Clarity, the intuitive interface and flexible filter options enable individual views and maximum transparency.
Simultaneous Editing
With Clarity, teams can work on OKRs in parallel - without manual consolidation. This facilitates collaboration, avoids errors, and makes conflicts of objectives visible at an early stage.
High Degree of Configurability
OKR management thrives on flexibility and individual processes. Clarity adapts to your requirements – from metrics to individual views.
Clear Status Reporting
Clarity provides real-time insights into target achievement. With OKR dashboards, statistics, and reports, you can maintain an overview, track progress, and motivate your employees.
Identify Trends at an Early Stage
Clarity provides a history of all important data relating to KRs. This allows you to track progress over time and identify turning points and trends.
Automated Reminder E-mail
An automated e-mail reminds the KR managers to make their entries in the system on a weekly basis. This ensures that progress can be tracked regularly and reliably.
Overview of Correlations
With the help of Hierarchies in Clarity, you can display the OKR hierarchy consisting of strategy, objectives, and key results in a consolidated tree structure. You can keep an eye on the big picture.
