- matrixagent 9y agoAnyone else using that? We use it at my company with very varying levels of success.
- groby_b 9y agoA lot of places. It dates back to (IIRC) Intel in the late 70s. Doerr brought the idea to Google.
- matrixagent 9y agoOh, I hadn't heard it was that old. Fascinating, so far I've always thought it was something that came directly out of Google itself.
- groby_b 9y agoGoogle has a good PR department? ;)
- wtvanhest 9y agoAlmost all big companies. It was done when I worked at Intel 2010sh
- matrixagent 9y agoInteresting. How did you like it? Does every person at Intel have their own quarterly OKR list, or do they stop propagating down at some level? Were they always on time? How did lower levels give input with regard to what they thought were important goals? Or did really everything come top-down?
