If you haven’t at least skimmed my blog reboot post yet, it might be helpful to understand why I’m doing all of this.
How to read an OKR Grid:
My Health OKR Grid is inspired by Christina Wodtkey’s “Four Square” tool in her book Radical Focus.
- Read the grid clockwise.
- We start with OKRs to set and remind ourselves of our foundational goals: OKRs are
- Objectives - the inspirational “What”
- Key Results - aka KRs or the “how we know we’ve met our goal”
- Next, Metrics help us ensure that we’re maintaining the things that matter most while continuing to press forward on new developments.
- Pipeline is the list of things that we envision coming up or being a part of the near future.
- Priorities are active commitments, this week, to progress forward in meeting our goals.
