Notable Quotes:

"KPIs are indicators, not goals - it's right there in the name." 
"SMART goals are helpful because they are specific. They do give us something to aim for.   The challenge with SMART goals, and we're going to talk about mandatories in just a minute, is with SMART goals, It's a little too easy to set that goal and then have our all-or-nothing thinking take over with our behavior."
" And quantifying activity is great. It gives you that clarity when what's important is that you do something a certain number of times. But doing something a certain number of times won't necessarily yield the outcome you need."
"The Objective is like a tiny love letter from your idealistic 'you' to your future 'you' that's going to get frustrated and challenged."
"Your Rhythm of Business (ROB) is all of the things that make up the culture of performance in your work. [...]Your Rhythm of Business is really your culture. It's your meetings, yes, it's also your communication norms, your asynchronous communication norms, your habits. Your rhythms for learning and feedback, your ways of recognizing each other and what cadence that's on."

Sara:

Welcome to Thinkydoer Shorts, where we embrace anti-perfection

Sara:

and dive straight into the messy middle of strategy, leadership,

Sara:

and personal and career growth.

Sara:

I'm your host, Sara Lobkovich, creator of No-BS Objectives and Key Results,

Sara:

host of the Thinkydoers podcast, and I'm a strategy coach, big-time goal nerd,

Sara:

and board-certified and wellness coach with a focus on work-life well-being.

Sara:

And in the next few minutes, we'll explore a current topic or insight to

Sara:

spark your curiosity and provide you a pragmatic starting place to take action.

Sara:

Hello, friends.

Sara:

I said shorts were going to be low fidelity, so here we go.

Sara:

I am in California right now.

Sara:

I'm sitting outside a dyno shop.

Sara:

It's the team's third round, it's my second round, down at CVMA for

Sara:

winter racing with the team — the CW Moto racing program that my

Sara:

husband and I own and operate.

Sara:

Folks who know me in my business life might not have seen this part of my life,

Sara:

but in addition to being an OKR coach and career coach, I also have another life

Sara:

in professional motorcycle road racing.

Sara:

Sometimes those worlds happen at the same time.

Sara:

So, we are putting together a couple of Thinkydoer Shorts episodes based on

Sara:

my Goal Fridays lives from this fall.

Sara:

Once a quarter or so, sometimes once every other quarter, I do a six- or eight-week

Sara:

series of what we call Goal Fridays.

Sara:

And it's an hour on Fridays that we spend.

Sara:

Sometimes we do them structured, sometimes we do them unstructured, but

Sara:

it's basically time to get an hour to focus in on what's really most important.

Sara:

This fall, it was a structured series.

Sara:

I did them on live via YouTube and LinkedIn.

Sara:

We have the replays, so we're repurposing those for Thinkydoers Shorts.

Sara:

Today's episode is if there was one question I get asked the most often,

Sara:

it might be what's the difference between a Key Result and a KPI.

Sara:

So today's episode is some excerpts from the live that I did talking

Sara:

about SMART goals, KPIs, OKRs, and some other acronyms associated with

Sara:

strategic planning and goal setting.

Sara:

Some parts of this episode only make sense if you can see the screen.

Sara:

So we have a video version, both of the original live unedited,

Sara:

unscripted, and then we also have a video version that we've edited based

Sara:

on that for this Thinkydoers episode.

Sara:

And you can find that on our video podcast channels, including YouTube.

Sara:

Enjoy today's episode.

Sara:

I hope you can bear with us on the low fidelity for these, and Let me know

Sara:

what questions this sparks for you.

Sara:

The questions I am asked most often what's the difference

Sara:

between acronym A and acronym B?

Sara:

So today, we're going to separate out the alphabet soup of goal-setting

Sara:

acronyms into its individual ingredients.

Sara:

Just a little tiny bit of context, because I'm going to use some examples today that

Sara:

aren't your typical business examples.

Sara:

before we start building your decoder ring today, I guess I should introduce myself.

Sara:

Yeah, I'm Sara Lobkovich.

Sara:

And in addition to the work that you know me for in the strategy and OKR

Sara:

space, I actually wear two other hats that you might not know about, but

Sara:

they complement each other perfectly.

Sara:

I'm a board-certified health and wellness coach, and I use that in my work with

Sara:

people in their careers and workplaces with a focus on career well-being

Sara:

and organizing for career impact.

Sara:

And this is the one that catches people more off guard: I am also the

Sara:

team principal for a professional motorcycle road racing team.

Sara:

So, in addition to politics, sponsor support, and crew duties in my

Sara:

professional motorcycle racing career, part of my role involves athlete

Sara:

fitness and mental game preparation.

Sara:

And naturally, I am the goal-setting person for the team.

Sara:

So this combination with health and wellbeing coaching and my life

Sara:

and professional sports has given me some pretty deep insights into

Sara:

high-performance goal-setting, whether we're talking about your athletic

Sara:

pursuits, or your work in the office, or your health and lifestyle metrics.

Sara:

In addition to all of this, I've trained over 2, 000 Objectives

Sara:

and Key Results coaches.

Sara:

I lead Objectives and Key Results adoption in multi-thousand-person organizations

Sara:

and Fortune 100 and 500 companies.

Sara:

And I also do OKR work with small and solo businesses as well.

Sara:

So, that combo of skills, it sounds weird when I try and talk about it together.

Sara:

This is actually the first time I've tried to talk about all three together,

Sara:

so it's a little bit of an experiment.

Sara:

People who know me in one facet don't always know me in the

Sara:

others, but what all three have in common is they're high stakes.

Sara:

There are places where we have to get comfortable with change.

Sara:

We have to be nimble.

Sara:

We have to be creative because we're not in control of our sports

Sara:

environment, we're not in control of our work environment, and

Sara:

our bodies are always changing.

Sara:

It sounds weird from the outside, but for me, it's just

Sara:

high-performance, high-stakes stuff.

Sara:

That requires goal setting and behavior change support.

Sara:

So today, we're going to use some analogies from these other parts of

Sara:

my life to build your decoder ring for acronyms of goal setting — that

Sara:

alphabet soup of goal setting — and some of goal setting's key terms.

Sara:

I only included a handful of acronyms, so if I missed any that you want to hear

Sara:

about, even if I don't know today, I can follow up with, my thoughts on them.

Sara:

Because every time I think I've learned the most relevant

Sara:

acronyms, new ones pop up.

Sara:

So here, we're going to talk about definitions of some of the key acronyms.

Sara:

We'll talk about when you might use each of them.

Sara:

I'm going to show you an example of each, but instead of using

Sara:

business examples — which I actually think are sometimes really hard.

Sara:

It's hard to tell the difference between the goal types when we use

Sara:

business examples — I'm going to use health- and sport-based examples.

Sara:

For me, I don't know, whenever I use the health and body and sport-based

Sara:

examples, it just makes more sense to me.

Sara:

It's easier to see the distinctions between the goal types.

Sara:

Whether you are fine-tuning personal performance or leading some kind of

Sara:

high-stakes team, you're going to leave here with a practical toolkit

Sara:

for choosing and using the right goal-setting method for any situation.

Sara:

So you can get better faster without getting lost in the jargon.

Sara:

From here, let's look at this universe of acronyms.

Sara:

KPIs, SMART goals, Objectives and Key Results.

Sara:

We're going to talk about mandatory goals, which isn't an acronym,

Sara:

but it's an Important distinction.

Sara:

We can't talk about goal setting without talking about activities or plans.

Sara:

And we're also going to talk about how we work toward goal achievement.

Sara:

So we're going to mention EOS, which I'm not an expert in, but it

Sara:

is something that's coming up a lot in my conversations with people.

Sara:

Which is the Entrepreneur Operating System.

Sara:

We're also going to talk about rhythms of business (ROB).

Sara:

the first one we're going to talk about is.

Sara:

activity goals.

Sara:

And that's because that's what most people do in terms of goal setting,

Sara:

is they decide what they plan to do, and that's what their focus is on.

Sara:

That's not bad.

Sara:

There's nothing wrong with activity planning.

Sara:

Ultimately, if we want to achieve something, we have to do things.

Sara:

So activity goals are not bad.

Sara:

— they're just incomplete on their own.

Sara:

And I made this slide on purpose because it shows part of the problem.

Sara:

I didn't count the number of items on that checklist.

Sara:

It's like 15 things.

Sara:

And I don't know about you — how many things do you have on your

Sara:

to-do list at any given time?

Sara:

I have so many that multiple pieces of software can't keep up with my to-do list.

Sara:

So this is where most people start, and they think of these as goals, but

Sara:

I think of these as well-laid plans.

Sara:

So these are the plans that we make, just like any other plans, where if we wake

Sara:

up on that day, then we might decide that we're not going to stick to our plan.

Sara:

And so then, if this is the only kind of goal setting that we're doing is planning,

Sara:

then there's not much to keep us on the rails when we wake up and have a rough

Sara:

day and don't want to stick with our plan.

Sara:

In addition to activity goals and planning, we can build on our skills here.

Sara:

And we're going to add in the idea of KPIs.

Sara:

And I went to KPIs first because KPIs are what I get asked

Sara:

about absolutely the most.

Sara:

So KPIs, or Key Performance Indicators, that is a term

Sara:

that has no universal meaning.

Sara:

Everyone who uses that term has a different definition of what a KPI is.

Sara:

A lot of times, I see organizations using KPIs as goals.

Sara:

I am a words girl.

Sara:

It is all about semantics with me.

Sara:

That's an insult that I used to get a lot, and it's actually completely true.

Sara:

But the words of the word KPI — Key Performance Indicator, is indicator.

Sara:

So when I started trying to kind of reconcile, how do OKRs fit in to

Sara:

organizations' existing practices?

Sara:

KPIs was the first ones that I looked at, and I'm like,

Sara:

it's right there in the name.

Sara:

They're indicators.

Sara:

They're not goals.

Sara:

KPIs, if we use a body-based example, they're the things that we keep an eye on

Sara:

to make sure that we're staying healthy.

Sara:

If our KPIs go sideways, then we know we might need to pay attention.

Sara:

But they're not goals in and of themselves, they're

Sara:

indicators of our health.

Sara:

So it's things like blood pressure, or waist-hip ratio, or sleep

Sara:

efficiency, or the number of social plans that we make per week.

Sara:

The number of social plans we keep per week, resting heart rate, bone

Sara:

density, those sorts of things.

Sara:

Those are example KPIs, and KPIs are important.

Sara:

We'll talk about our dashboard at the very end, but KPIs are

Sara:

important because they're the metrics that we're going to watch.

Sara:

They're the ones we're going to keep an eye on.

Sara:

If we need to maintain a metric, we use a KPI.

Sara:

If we need to watch a metric because we're concerned about it, or there might

Sara:

be, some cause for concern, that's a KPI.

Sara:

And so our KPIs aren't all of the metrics under the sun.

Sara:

Our KPIs are the ones that we're going to watch to make sure

Sara:

that we're staying healthy.

Sara:

And I'm not going to say every time this applies to your business too, but

Sara:

the body- and health- and sport-based examples, I think if you internalize

Sara:

those, then it's really easy to see how this applies in the workplace.

Sara:

All right.

Sara:

So that's KPIs, Key Performance Indicators.

Sara:

That's our KPIs.

Sara:

All right.

Sara:

So our next one is SMART goals.

Sara:

And I put SMART goal s second because SMART goals is what I run

Sara:

into second as frequently as KPIs.

Sara:

The first questions about KPIs, and then we go, "What about SMART

Sara:

goals?" because those two have been implemented in a lot of organizations.

Sara:

And SMART is one of my personal nemesis.

Sara:

Because, again, it's all semantics with me.

Sara:

And I worked in environments that use SMART goal setting before I

Sara:

started doing this for a living.

Sara:

And every organization that used SMART, for one, had different meanings.

Sara:

The words meant different, the " specific" and "measurable"

Sara:

— those are always the same.

Sara:

Some places use "achievable", some places use "attainable" for A. Some

Sara:

places use "relevant", and some places use "realistic" for R. I worked

Sara:

somewhere where they used "attainable" for A, and R for "realistic," and I

Sara:

was like, " What is the difference?" And no one could explain it to me.

Sara:

And then T is "time-bound".

Sara:

So SMART goals came back into my world when I was doing my training as a

Sara:

health and wellness coach and studying for my exams because SMART goals are

Sara:

used a lot in health and wellness.

Sara:

And an example of a SMART goal, they're specific, measurable,

Sara:

achievable or attainable, relevant or realistic, and time-bound.

Sara:

So an example of a SMART goal in the body-based examples might be

Sara:

engage in cardiovascular exercise for 30 minutes, four times a week,

Sara:

for the next three months, tracking progress with a fitness app.

Sara:

So it's specific, very specific.

Sara:

It's measurable in terms of you can quantify the activity and say, "Am

Sara:

I doing the things that I said I plan to?" That might be achievable.

Sara:

For some people it might not be achievable, for some people

Sara:

it might be attainable, for some people it might not be.

Sara:

It's relevant if this is your domain of concern, if improving cardiovascular

Sara:

health is important to you.

Sara:

Might be realistic, again, achievable, attainable, realistic.

Sara:

Lots of confusion there.

Sara:

And it's time-bound, so we're gonna do that 30 minutes, 4 times

Sara:

a week for the next 3 months.

Sara:

So SMART goal s can be really helpful.

Sara:

Notice that goal is probably more helpful at getting you off the

Sara:

couch than a vague plan or activity goal to work out more often.

Sara:

So SMART goals are helpful because they are specific.

Sara:

They do give us something to aim for.

Sara:

The challenge with SMART goals, and we're going to talk about mandatories

Sara:

in just a minute, is with SMART goals, It's a little too easy to set that

Sara:

goal and then have our all-or-nothing thinking take over with our behavior.

Sara:

So if we don't make a workout, then it's a little too easy to kind of fall off the

Sara:

SMART goal wagon and think, "Well, you know, I'm going to miss this one, and then

Sara:

I'm, going to take another day off," and then it's hard to get back on the wagon.

Sara:

So SMART goals work.

Sara:

They're good for some things.

Sara:

And it's basically, if you're familiar with my work, this

Sara:

is quantifying activity.

Sara:

They use the term "measurable," and that's a reason I've moved away from using the

Sara:

term measurable alone when we talk about Key Results, but they're measurable in

Sara:

terms of "Did you do the thing?" "Have you done the thing?" There are ways to write

Sara:

SMART goals that are actually Key Results.

Sara:

Like, you could write a SMART goal that would be a Key Result per a

Sara:

technical definition of a Key Result.

Sara:

But because the definition is so broad, it's pretty rare that I actually

Sara:

see metrics -based SMART goals.

Sara:

A lot of times they're like quantifying activity.

Sara:

And quantifying activity is great.

Sara:

It gives you that clarity when what's important is that you do

Sara:

something a certain number of times.

Sara:

But doing something a certain number of times won't necessarily

Sara:

yield the outcome you need.

Sara:

So we need to think about, "Is what's most important that we do the thing a certain

Sara:

number of times?" SMART goal "Is what's important that we achieve some sort of

Sara:

outcome?" That's where OKRs are helpful.

Sara:

All right.

Sara:

And so before we get into OKRs though, let's talk about mandatory goals.

Sara:

One of the biggest issues I see in organizations is that they don't

Sara:

distinguish between mandatory goals or "must-achieves" and stretch

Sara:

goals, where we are going into unknown territory and we can't really

Sara:

forecast because it's the unknown.

Sara:

And we still want to have a target, trying to forecast in speculative,

Sara:

unknown stretch territories, just sets us up for disappointment.

Sara:

So instead of treating our stretch goals as mandatory, or treating our

Sara:

mandatories as stretch, a lot of organizations, they just conflate the

Sara:

two and then no one ever knows whether something's mandatory or stretch.

Sara:

And so we just presume everything is mandatory because that's

Sara:

the only safe thing to do.

Sara:

That can lead to underperformance.

Sara:

So examples of things that might be mandatory goals in the health space: Get

Sara:

at least six hours of sleep per night.

Sara:

Drink eight glasses — that's probably a bridge too far.

Sara:

I should have said, "Drink water every day." I know the recommendation

Sara:

is eight glasses, but let's just go for drinking water every day.

Sara:

Mandatory.

Sara:

Take your prescribed medications as directed.

Sara:

Our mandatories are the things that we have to do.

Sara:

They're the things that if we don't do this, we're going to

Sara:

experience negative consequences.

Sara:

There might be poor outcomes.

Sara:

And so in our business, we're We've got mandatory goals.

Sara:

You have to pay your credit card bill.

Sara:

You have to make payroll.

Sara:

There are things where they're just must-achieves, they're mandatories.

Sara:

I used to call these "commits," but that language became a challenge.

Sara:

It's less precise than saying mandatory or must-achieve.

Sara:

So I use mandatory, and then I've had one of my clients adopted "must

Sara:

achieve," so I just include that for consistency since there might

Sara:

be folks from there on here today.

Sara:

Okay, so that's mandatory goals.

Sara:

We want to use mandatory goal setting when something has to be achieved.

Sara:

And then, when we set a mandatory goal, our target for that

Sara:

is 100 percent achievement.

Sara:

We're going to aim to get that done 100 percent of the time

Sara:

because it's that important.

Sara:

But then, that takes us into our speculative and unknown territory.

Sara:

So we can set mandatory goals around the parts of our worker

Sara:

life that are predictable or known.

Sara:

Then we get into growth, and innovation, and change, and parts that are unknown.

Sara:

And that's where OKRs become really important.

Sara:

Objectives and Key Results help us identify the targets we're aiming for

Sara:

when it's too uncertain to forecast.

Sara:

But we want to give ourselves a target to aim for that is, what might be

Sara:

possible if everything went right.

Sara:

So, if everything were to go amazingly well, what might be possible?

Sara:

The formula for an Objective that I use is: what's important, why does it matter?

Sara:

And so an example Objective, along with our health and body-based examples,

might be:

"become the healthiest version of myself with age and age

might be:

with grace." So, what's important?

might be:

Being the healthiest version of myself.

might be:

Why does it matter?

might be:

I want to age with grace.

might be:

That's my purpose.

might be:

That's how I want to feel about aging.

might be:

So, that's the Objective.

might be:

Our Objective gives us our idea of what direction we're heading

might be:

in, what's important, like what's the territory that we're focused

might be:

on, and why does it matter to us?

might be:

Because if we only ask the first question, "what's important," then

might be:

it's kind of like those activity plans we started with at the beginning.

might be:

It's just another thing on the checklist.

might be:

But when we add the "why," then it makes our Objective something

might be:

that means something to us.

might be:

It gives us an idea of its purpose.

might be:

And so, that helps us stay motivated when we're challenged.

might be:

It reminds us of why this goal, this Objective, and the Key Results

might be:

that support it are important when we start to get discouraged

might be:

or when we need a pick-me-up.

might be:

It's like a tiny love letter from the "you" that you are

might be:

when you're setting your goals.

might be:

You are your, like, New Year's resolution -best you.

might be:

You are the most optimistic, "I can do it", idealistic version of

might be:

yourself when you're goal setting.

might be:

And what matters is the "you" you are in 45 days when everything's gone sideways,

might be:

and you still have to keep at it.

might be:

So, the Objective is like a tiny love letter from your idealistic "you"

might be:

to your future "you" that's going to get frustrated and challenged.

might be:

Keeps you focused and inspired to keep working when things

might be:

get hard, and get creative and troubleshoot when things get hard.

might be:

Then, our Key Resultlts align to our Objectives.

might be:

And so our Key Results are our measures, but I'm going to say, not just measures.

might be:

Not just quantifiable, there are empirical, data

might be:

-based metrics or measures.

might be:

They are things that can be empirically measured and quantified.

might be:

And in that, I include data that we get from our systems.

might be:

But I also include things that we can reliably observe or notice.

might be:

If you don't have a bunch of instrumentation in your business,

might be:

there are things that happen that are important that you can count.

might be:

And that sounds like quantifying activity, but quantifying activity

might be:

is quantifying your own activity.

might be:

When I say, "we can write a KR about what you observe in your business or

might be:

what you notice in your business," that's talking about other people's activity.

might be:

I can't think of a body-based one right off the bat, but one of the

might be:

examples that I used early on in my business, I had a Key Result around

might be:

hearing clients say the word "ease" in their feedback about working with me.

might be:

So that's not an instrumented business metric.

might be:

That's something that, when we get our feedback surveys, we do a search for

might be:

the term "ease" and we see how many people mentioned "ease" or "easy." At

might be:

the end of a teaching day, I'd look at the chat window, and I'd look at

might be:

the transcript, and we'd say, "did we see the word 'ease' or 'easy?'"

might be:

And how many people were there?

might be:

That Key Result wasn't a business metric.

might be:

It wasn't instrumented, but it was something I could observe.

might be:

It was really important for me because when that number went up,

might be:

it meant my materials were getting better for my target and more useful.

might be:

When I say Key Result, don't stop listening just because you

might be:

might not have business metrics.

might be:

If you write one Key Result like that one of "I want to increase

might be:

the number of times I hear the word 'ease' in client feedback," you will

might be:

be shocked at what a difference a single Key Result like that can make

might be:

for how you work and in your results.

might be:

But back to our body-based examples.

might be:

So we have our Objective: become the healthiest version

might be:

of myself, to age with grace.

might be:

Now we've got our Key Results that we layer in.

might be:

And Key Results sometimes are KPIs turned into goals.

might be:

So that's what we have here.

might be:

Reduce my blood pressure from 140 over 70 to 130 over 80.

might be:

Reduce my A1c, which is a diabetes marker, from 5.

might be:

8 to 5.

might be:

6. Increase VO2 max, it's cardiovascular efficiency metric, from 35 to 40.

might be:

I actually didn't fact-check if that is a right number, so

might be:

don't quote me on that one.

might be:

But increase our VO2 max from our start value to our finish value.

might be:

I usually write them as, "increase," "decrease," or "improve" a metric by a

might be:

percent change from A to B, but I kept these a little simpler for this one.

might be:

So that's our OKRs.

might be:

Our OKRs are, we're going to set stretch goals for our uncertain territory,

might be:

we're going to recognize that they take us into uncertain territory.

might be:

We're going to be really curious about how we do on those.

might be:

We're not going to beat ourselves up about it.

might be:

We're going to get curious and see what we learn because our OKRs are about

might be:

experimentation and continuous learning.

might be:

All right, we're in the home stretch.

might be:

BSC is Balanced Scorecard.

might be:

And I haven't.

might be:

learn the fine points of Balance Scorecard, but I've worked with

might be:

clients who use Balance Scorecard.

might be:

And so Balance Scorecard is when we have that holistic dashboard.

might be:

That's where we decide what are the KPIs that we need to see every day?

might be:

What are our Key Results that we need status on every day?

might be:

What are our most important things we need to have on that dashboard?

might be:

And so here, in our example, that might be something that includes our most

might be:

important physical health metrics, mental health metrics, social well-being

might be:

measures, and socioeconomic resource measures, because socioeconomics play

might be:

a huge part in health and well-being.

might be:

And so that's our dashboard, is our Balance Scorecard.

might be:

But it doesn't have everything on it, it has what's important on it.

might be:

And then our R. O. B., our Rhythm of Business , or as Jurriaan Kamer

might be:

says, Rhythm of Progress, is all of the things that make up the

might be:

culture of performance in your work.

might be:

So people think of Rhythm of Business, if they've heard that term before,

might be:

as these are the meetings that we're going to do on a cadence.

might be:

What are the meetings we're going to do weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually?

might be:

But I think bigger about your Rhythm of Business because your Rhythm of

might be:

Business is really your culture.

might be:

It's your meetings, yes, it's also your communication norms, your asynchronous

might be:

communication norms, your habits.

might be:

Your rhythms for learning and feedback, your ways of recognizing

might be:

each other and what cadence that's on.

might be:

So I think much more broadly about Rhythm of Business, but every business has one.

might be:

And so, you might think you don't, but even if you don't think you do.

might be:

There are elements of a Rhythm of Business in how you work.

might be:

I have a toolkit for this.

might be:

I don't have the link with me, but I'll share it in social media because

might be:

I have a Rhythm of Business toolkit that can help with identifying, and

might be:

then, improving your goal attainment focus in your Rhythm of Business.

might be:

So I'll share that out too.

might be:

So in our health routines, our Rhythm of Business might be that daily morning

might be:

stretch and evening walk, and then our weekly meal prep on Sundays, and then

might be:

our monthly check-in on our "What's our blood pressure trend been for the month?"

might be:

Cause blood pressure varies a lot by day.

might be:

So we look at trends.

might be:

We don't look at individual measures.

might be:

And then do I have my quarterly check with my rheumatologist and do I have my

might be:

annual check with my primary care doctor?

might be:

So those are our rhythms of business.

might be:

Or rhythms of physical health.

might be:

And then EOS is Entrepreneur Operating System.

might be:

Jessica Lee is someone who's come into my life fairly recently.

might be:

She's amazing.

might be:

She's an EOS consultant, which was just perfect timing because EOS is

might be:

something I get asked about a lot.

might be:

It's not a framework that I've become expert in because I got my hands full

might be:

with OKRs, but EOS is a framework that helps small and mid-sized

might be:

organizations organize around like a big picture system of vision and people

might be:

and data and issues and process and how to get traction and achievement.

might be:

So I'm not an EOS expert, but I wanted to mention it because that's one of

might be:

the acronyms that comes up a lot.

might be:

And in the kind of trying to make an analogy with health, I feel like EOS

might be:

is like our family health system.

might be:

So what are the families R&Rs for health?

might be:

Who plans meals, who organizes daily active time, who makes sure we get out

might be:

to the park when the weather's nice, who schedules the doctor's appointments

might be:

and what's the quarterly family rhythm.

might be:

What's the annual family rhythm.

might be:

Do we have an annual kind of vacation or getaway that we can spend to take

might be:

a little time to check in on our health and well being as a family.

might be:

But that would also include your healthcare providers.

might be:

It's like, what's the system?

might be:

So that's different.

might be:

Then Rhythm of Business, because Rhythm of Business is more about the mechanics,

might be:

and EOS is broader and includes the roles and responsibilities and more to it.

might be:

All right.

might be:

Homestretch, team.

might be:

So that's it.

might be:

That's all the acronyms I'm going to throw at you.

might be:

It's a lot, but I hope that helps break them down so you can see when you might

might be:

use which ones in your business or work.

might be:

if you have any questions, I would love to hear them.

might be:

Like, there might be something where you're wrestling with

might be:

which goal type you might use or you might have another acronym.

might be:

Jeffrey shared, "FAST, frequently discussed, ambitious, specific, and

might be:

transparent." Oh, that's a good one.

might be:

I like that.

might be:

That could be like OKRs and FAST, like, people try and put OKRs and

might be:

SMART goals together, but OKRs actually align really, really nicely to that

might be:

FAST acronym, Frequently Discussed, Ambitious, Specific, and Transparent.

might be:

Because when we're doing OKRs well, that's what they are.

might be:

that's a great one, I'll add that into my toolkit.

might be:

But that's our alphabet soup of goal setting for today.

might be:
