Objectives and key results (also known as OKRs) is a goal-setting system that helps to ensure that the company focuses efforts on the same important issues throughout the organization. What is the main OKR you're focusing on right now?
*To learn more about this, check out the Setting Business Goals lesson via HubSpot Academy.
I'm working on find a new job, so I've wrote out a loose version of OKRs to that end. There's lots of overlap between them. But I found this to be a super helpful exercise to help me outline my job searching strategy and plan (sticking to my mission/purpose of getting a job):
Get a job in < 5 months
Apply to jobs (including resume customizations, interview prep, following up, etc.)
Get certifications that prove my current experience (like the HubSpot certifications I'm work on now)
Create portfolio / website that shows my experience / creative work
Work on new skills and certifications to keep leveling up
Get a job that I like
Define what I want (within my constraints of skill, experience, and income required)
Align my story and experience to fit
Fill in any skill gaps with new skills and certifications (overlap with 1.4.)
Get a job in Pittsburgh, PA
Do stuff in Pittsburgh - get out and meet people and talk about my career when applicable
Network - utilize college alum and career services (NYU & UD) and others like (American Marketing Association) to find people in Pittsburgh
Go to job fairs and check out local job boards
Find friends of friends (or connections of old colleagues and co workers) in Pittsburgh
I think the following two actions will have the most impact on your job search:
Create a portfolio website that shows your skills and experience
Work with your local businesses/brands, offering them something for FREE to start the relationship with, asking for testimonials and referrals in return.
my main OkRs that I'm focussing now is to maintain 90% client satisfaction through survey feedback, and to also create and implement two new workflow for task efficiency.
Our main OKRs (local) right now include: Objective: Increase member satisfaction through running a safe, clean and positive environment in our site.
Key results: Log damages/errors promptly, ensure constant club level checks from staff, carry out daily/weekly deep cleans of our site, listen to member queries and complaints and act accordingly.
My objective is to grow in real estate by building stronger client relationships, with key results of closing more deals and expanding my network this year.
My objective as a person transitioning to freelancing, i want to have a level of mastery on a CRM tool in this case Hubspot, which i feel will help me achieve my key results of being sellable in the next three months.
Our main OKR is pipeline. However, lack of clarity has been a huge problem at the company. Pipeline from which segment, which product? We have goals and OKRs, but too many of them, and lack of ability to prioritize among competing leaders. I also feel like this session doesn't recognize the need for people / resource capacity dedicated to each OKR.
At Dream Shift General Dealers Limited, our OKRs focus on driving growth, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing operations. Key results include increasing sales, enhancing customer experience, and streamlining processes for efficiency.
