Company-level OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) define the strategic priorities of the organization for a specific period (usually quarterly or annually).
They answer the question: "What must the entire company focus on to grow and succeed this year?"
These OKRs align departments toward a common direction, create clarity on what success looks like, and drive accountability.
They are not vague aspirations like “be the best”, they’re clear, ambitious, and outcome-focused.
Team OKRs align directly with company-level objectives but break them down into tangible, functional goals that each department can own. For Sales, OKRs focus on revenue generation, pipeline health, conversion efficiency, and account expansion, all while syncing with marketing, customer success, and product goals.
These OKRs should drive daily execution and quarterly targets, but also leave room for experimentation and growth.
Individual OKRs connect a person's daily work to the larger company and team goals. They give employees clarity, ownership, and motivation because they can clearly see how their success drives bigger outcomes.
Good Individual OKRs are specific to someone's role and responsibilities but still align upward to team and company priorities.
It’s about moving from tasks to outcomes, what impact am I creating?
