A robust goal management framework, that sets specific objectives, identifies key results, initiatives, and objectives are essential for the success of any organization. To promote a sense of clarity and transparency and align short-term goals with long-term metrics, Tavisca recently initiated the Objective and Key Results (OKRs) at an organization level.
While the Tribe & Squad structure helps us align the principles of ‘Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose, and Feeling of Connectedness’ to what we do at Tavisca every day, OKRs helps us set organizational goals and set required action items and align and connect our teams with our corporate vision.
