OKR in crisis-management – Objective and key results

One tool is attracting more and more attention here, namely “OKR”, which stands for Objectives and Key Results. It is about qualitative objectives and quantitative key results.
OKR was developed in the 1970s by the semiconductor manufacturer Intel and, like most agile methods such as Scrum or KanBan, originates from the digital business sector. The system received special attention when Google announced the management of the company with OKR.
What is hardly known is that the OKR method is particularly suitable for crisis management. In the political environment as well as at the level of the individual health care institution.
