This document provides an overview of OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), a goal setting mechanism. It discusses how OKRs originated from Peter Drucker's MBO framework and were later adopted by companies like Intel and Google. The document outlines some limitations of conventional goal setting and how OKRs aim to address these through their focus on objectives, key results, alignment, transparency and frequent cycles. It provides examples of OKRs from different levels of organizations. Finally, it discusses how OKRs can be implemented and some common pitfalls to avoid when using the OKR framework.
