Objectives & Key Results (OKR) — we have had the best experiences with this.

BUT!

Responsibility is not divisible, RIGHT?

That’s why we at catuuga equipped the Key Result Owner (KRO) with license-free software.

That’s why the catuuga SCOUTS supported the KRO in refining the goals individually (REFINEMENT).

That’s why the catuuga SCOUTS helped the KRO define the workflow for goal setting (TASK BREAKDOWN).

I would be glad to share my experiences.


For me, the #OKR method [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objectives_and_key_results] is a very important addition to #SOLWO.


Why?

1. everyone who wants to make a contribution is involved.

Turn those affected into participants

2. orientation towards goals and goal achievement.

3. the question of tools (e.g. the SOLWO) follows almost automatically if you don't want to be a debating society.

4. with the appropriate open-mindedness, this method can be extended across the entire supply chain.

Interesting. But isn't it precisely this mindset that causes companies to stagnate? If we only rely on what has 'always worked,' aren’t we missing out on progress? The world is changing, and so are the challenges in the supply chain. OKRs and the role of the KRO might be more complex, but they also offer the flexibility and adaptability needed today. Why shouldn't we be bold enough to try something new?

With over 30 years of experience in supply chain management, I am firmly convinced that proven methods remain the key to success. OKRs may sound good in theory, but how many of these "new" methods have we seen come and go? Responsibility cannot be divided, and that has always worked for us. The role of the Key Result Owner sounds to me like an unnecessary layer of additional complexity. Why not stick to the tried-and-true methods that actually work?

‘We have already seen many of these ‘new’ methods come and go’

There could be a reason for that, right?

Leadership and responsibility

All too often we see responsibility being shifted. But when does a manager actually act responsibly? Responsibility always entails accepting the manageable consequences of one's actions. Creating clarity in decision-making and responsibility are also part of responsible behaviour. And those who act responsibly will never hide behind the power of facts. Responsibility is therefore closely linked to leadership: only those who take responsibility take action.

In the #SOLWO, there is always exactly one person per issue who is responsible, which corresponds 1:1 to the OKR.
