How to use Strategic Planning OKRs well
Strong OKRs keep the team focused on measurable outcomes instead of a long task list. That means picking a clear objective, limiting the number of competing priorities, and reviewing progress every week.
Start with the highest-leverage company bets, define the evidence that those bets are working, and keep the plan small enough that leaders can review it every week without losing focus.
