BLOG 1 – What does it take to achieve 10x profit growth in your business?

When you started your business, you’ll have had many ideas about the direction you wanted it to go in and what you wanted to achieve.

You had dreams, ideas, goals and objectives.

You might have achieved some of them, you are running a successful business after all, but what about the rest of your goals and objectives?

The reality is that if you make a list of objectives for your business, there are too many and the list becomes overwhelming.

Especially when you are busy being busy with the general day-to-day goal of running, managing and maintaining a successful business and a motivated team. It’s difficult to find time to think about strategic goals for your business when urgent work and deadlines keep your focus on operational issues.

But what if you made a list of the top 3 (just 3) strategic priorities for your business?

Priorities that will grow the profits of your business and move your business forward so that you don’t get left behind.

Sounds simple enough?

Then, what if you focused on the top priority and ignored all the others?

What if you focused on this single priority for the next 13 weeks, shared it with your team and tracked its activities and results?

BLOG 2 – A simple approach to bring business growth

What is a priority?

Here is the dictionary definition:

‘the fact or condition of being regarded or treated as more important than others’

‘a thing that is regarded as more important than others’

Lots of businesses have priorities and meet them, they pack the boxes, ship the goods, launch new products, hit their numbers…these priorities are the general day to day functions of any business, they are operational processes that keep us all in work.

So how can your business achieve growth? What actions can you take to ensure you are working strategically on your business and not just getting the day-to-day work done?

Business Growth happens when you bring your attention and focus a primary goal or objective. Working on too many goals or projects at any one time means the focus is diluted and you’ll be swamped.

One objective will inspire you and your team and means that it becomes the one focus for your whole business.

Andy Grove, leader, teacher and previous CEO of Intel, believes when it comes to achieving an objective ‘it does not matter what you know and what you don’t know, it’s the execution that matters most’.

Andy invented a system for achieving objectives called OKRs. ‘Objectives and Key Results’. This system has proved successful for many types of businesses, from massive corporate entities like Google and Apple to small pizza delivery and freelance businesses.

BLOG 3 – Single-minded focus to OKRs is the secret to business growth

Taking yourself out of the day-to-day running of your business for even a short period of time to focus on your future strategic objectives can sometimes seem like a dream and not reality.

You are busy having meetings, dealing with your team, customers, suppliers, emails, let alone work out the most important strategic priorities of your business.

But while setting strategic objectives might be difficult, it is invaluable to the growth of your business.

In his book ‘Measure What Matters’ John Doerr explains OKRs. His passion is based on their simplicity and power to help teams identify and accomplish their goals.

OKRs stand for Objectives and Key Results. A simple goal setting system that provides a structured way for teams and individuals to set and achieve their goals.

OKRs help to create clarity, focus, accountability, alignment and momentum to deliver real results.

OBJECTIVE – This is the WHAT – What are you wanting to achieve?

The objective should be significant, concrete, action-oriented and inspiring.

The objective should be hard; the point is to push yourselves as a team. As Doerr writes: “When properly designed and deployed, they’re a vaccine against fuzzy thinking — and fuzzy execution”

KEY RESULTS – This is the HOW – How you are going to achieve your objective?

Key results should be specific and time-bound, aggressive yet realistic, measurable and verifiable.

They enable you to set measurable milestones to monitor your progress.

Used correctly, OKRs will help you work out the objectives of your business and execute them.

Click here to learn the true power of OKRs comes from setting the right strategic objective for your business and team, then working together to track and measure its progress to finally achieve your desired business growth.

BLOG 4 – What can you learn about OKRs from Google

Late in the 1990s 17 different search engines were fighting to dominate the web.

Then the 18^th search engine started up – Google.

Normally someone arriving so late to the party would not stand a chance, especially having given all the others time to establish themselves.

So how did Google race on with 10x annual growth and become repeatedly rated as the best place to work more times than any other this century?

Google did this by using a method that guaranteed company wide focus on a handful of priorities -

OKRS (Objectives and Key Results), introduced to them in 1999 by John Doerr (business icon and author of ‘Measure What Matters’).

Google had (and continue to have) a quarterly focus on specific strategic objectives and measurements.

Every single person in the business is clear on Google’s objectives for that quarter and the key measures to evaluate progress.

These OKRs are not used as financial incentives for the team, they are used for a higher purpose - to get collective commitment from every employee to truly stretch goals.

How clear are the people in your team of the objectives of your business?

How long would it take you to write down a handful of strategic priorities for your business success?

How long would it take you to make this handful just one priority?

OKRs force you to focus your business and your team on what matters most.

Click here to learn how to implement OKRs successfully in your business. They will allow you to have a single objective and track the activities and results to ensure that you and your team achieve this objective.

BLOG 5 – Time to listen to Bono, the unlikely champion of OKRs…

OKRs - Objectives and Key Results. A simple goal setting system that provides a structured way for teams and individuals to set and achieve their goals.

You’d think that Bono (from U2) would be an unlikely exponent of the virtues of OKRs, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Bono has used OKRs for years to wage a global war against poverty and disease.

In 2004 Bono co-founded ‘ONE’ – a global coalition of 11 organisations campaigning to end extreme poverty and preventable disease by 2030.

With such an ambitious goal and so many people involved, the ONE CEO David Lane rightly said:

“We needed a process of discipline to keep us from trying to do everything”

ONE used OKRs to work out their key objective, their key measures and results and then shared them with everyone involved.

Bono believes so strongly in OKRs he states

“The OKR framework cultivates the madness, the chemistry contained inside it. It gives us an environment for risk, for trust, where failing is not a fireable offence. When you have that sort of structure and environment and the right people, magic is around the corner”

SO far ONE have delivered nearly £40 billion in funding for health initiatives, have helped almost halve AIDS-related deaths and also halve the number of HIV infections in children.

OKRs gave them a method to deliver focus, manage the chaos and provided them with real, measurable and tangible direction.

How can you use this same OKR method to bring focus and clarity to a strategic priority within your business?

Why not put some time aside to work out your primary objective – brain-storm a number of ideas with your team and then agree on the most important one. Then work out together what key measures you need to enable you to achieve the objective.

You might get it wrong the first time, but this will be apparent as you are tracking and measuring results, allowing you to adjust where necessary and move forward to achieve your objective.

BLOG 6 – What superpower do you use to achieve 10x profit growth?

You already know that you spread yourself too thinly when it comes to running your business.

You give your time, effort and energy to your customers, your team, projects, new business and many other things.

And you may feel frustrated that you could be achieving so much more but just don’t have the head space or time to do so.

You need to deploy your superpowers!

To join the ranks of Intel, Google and Bono’s ‘ONE’, you need to simply focus on one significant Objective in the next 13 weeks.

What one primary goal do you wish to achieve this quarter?

Then you need to measure your Key Results, these are time sensitive measurements to monitor progress in achieving your primary goal.

John Doerr, business icon and author of the insightful book ‘Measure What Matters’, talks about the 4 superpowers that result from the use of OKRs:

Superpower 1 – Focus and Commit to Priorities

Superpower 2 – Align and Connect for Teamwork

Superpower 3 – Track for Accountability

Superpower 4 – Stretch for Amazing

So, are you ready to be serious about 10x growth in your business? If you are it is time to put your 4 superpowers to work.

BLOG 7 – Are you serious enough about your business to put your super suit on?

Choosing the objectives for your business is one of the most crucial yet challenging tasks you will undertake as a business leader.

Get it right your business flies, get it wrong you will need to re-think and re-assess.

To help you focus on the right priority, John Doerr in his book ‘Measure What Matters’ recommends that you use OKRs. It’s a system that will help engage your team to focus on what matters the most (the objective) and to be able to continuously measure the progress (key results).

When you remove all the doubt and ambiguity from your team about where you are heading and what needs to be done to get there, you will be on the right road to achieving growth in your business.

OKRs are not a silver bullet and are not going to be a substitute for a strong culture or stronger leadership but when you have those fundamentals in place, they can take you to the top.

So, what can you achieve with OKRs?

Doerr believes you gain 4 superpowers as a direct result of using OKRS, here they are:

Superpower 1 – Focus and Commit to Priorities

Build a list of the things you should or must do to improve the performance of your business. When you have your list choose the ONE priority that will get your full attention for the next 13 weeks.

Superpower 2 – Align and Connect for Teamwork

OKRs allow the entire business to prioritise. With your priority clearly identified, work with your team on the actions and who is responsible for each one.

Superpower 3 – Track for Accountability

OKRs are driven by data. Work out the activities and measures that will help track performance.

OKRs are transparent, and regular check-ins allow employees to discuss progress and see the impact an individual’s work is having on the overall objective, this can often encourage greater collaboration in your team.

Superpower 4 – Stretch for Amazing

Bringing ambition to your quarterly objective creates an energy within your team and a striving within their thinking and actions meaning they work harder, can they stretch as far as Bono or Google?

BLOG 8 – 4 helping hands to help business growth

To achieve the goals for your business requires focus.

You might have ambitious goals and you might have grand plans to achieve them, but you are too busy just running your business day to day that you can’t get started.

Sound familiar?

This can lead to disenchantment and frustration, making it even harder for you to focus on the future.

When you set a single strategic priority for the next 13 weeks, it means most of the day to day work can still get done and ONE important change priority can also get done at the same time.

Something as simple as making a priority focus for 13 weeks, sharing it across all your team and setting up ways to track activities and results now sounds achievable.

Here are 4 helping hands to get you started:

Write out the list of business growth goals you have for your business.

They can be anything from sort the filing out to hiring a new member of the team. Anything that is either holding you back from growth or that with implementation would help your business grow.

Choose one priority OBJECTIVE for you and your team to focus on in the next 13 weeks.

Leave the other goals for now (perhaps deal with next quarter).

Discuss the Objective with your team and ensure buy-in.

Make sure everyone is clear on the handful of KEY RESULTS that together will deliver your OBJECTIVE. Work out who will do what and measure and monitor the activities.

Make sure you leaders are seen and heard giving your business OKRs (objective and key results) their wholehearted approval, support and diary time.

This sends a clear message to your team of the importance of the OBJECTIVE and the KEY RESULTS in place to achieve it.

Agreeing to one core objective for the next 13 weeks means you are doing what Google has done over 80 times since 1999. Worth your time and attention don’t you think?

Click here to learn more about Google, Bono and Intel and the success OKRs brought them and how with the same single-minded focus to your priorities you can dramatically improve the profits and growth of your business.
