John Doerr

El legendario inversor John Doerr revela cómo los Objetivos y Resultados Claves (OKR) han permitido a Google lograr un crecimiento explosivo, y cómo ese metodo puede ayudar a cualquier organización a prosperar. En otoño de 1999, John Doerr se reunio con los fundadores de una start-up a la que acababa de confiar cerca de 12 millones de dolares, la mayor inversion de su carrera. Larry Page y Sergey Brin tenian en sus manos una tecnologia extraordinaria, mucha energia emprendedora y grandes ambiciones, pero carecian de un plan de negocio. Para que Google pudiera cambiar el mundo, Page y Brin tendrian que aprender a fijar las prioridades tomando decisiones dificiles y a la vez mantener a su equipo en la buena senda. Y para ello necesitaban datos pertinentes y relevantes con los que verificar su progreso y medir lo que importaba. Doerr les revelo el metodo probado para alcanzar la eficacia operativa, los Objetivos y Resultados Claves (OKR), que descubrio en los años setenta como ingeniero en Intel de la mano de Andy Grove.

Doerr introduced the founders to his system of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and, with those principles at the foundation of their management, the startup grew at an exponential rate. Today, that same startup - Google - has more than 70,000 employees with a market cap exceeding $600 billion.Doerr has introduced OKRs to more than fifty companies, helping tech giants and charities exceed all expectations. In the OKR model, objectives define what we seek to achieve and key results are how those top priority goals will be attained. They focus effort, foster coordination and enhance workplace satisfaction. For the first time in Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators including Bono and Bill Gates, to demonstrate the agility and explosive growth that OKRs have spurred at so many great organizations.With a foreword by Larry Page, and contributions from Bono and Bill Gates, this book will show you how to collect timely, relevant data to track progress - to measure what matters. It will help any organization or team aim high, move fast, and excel.--------'Management magic....Measure What Matters is a must read for anyone motivated to improve their organization' - Former Vice President Al Gore, chairman of the Climate Reality Project'Measure What Matters shows how any organization or team can aim high, move fast, and excel' - Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO'Measure What Matters deserves to be fully embraced by every person responsible for performance in any walk of life' - Jim Collins, author of Good to Great
