OKRs - Простая идея, которая обеспечивает 10-кратный рост" • В 1999 году легендарный венчурный капиталист Джон Доэрр инвестировал почти 12 миллионов долларов в небольшой стартап из 40 человек, который обладал потрясающими технологиями, предпринимательской энергией и заоблачными амбициями, но не имел реального бизнес-плана. Доэрр познакомил основателей со своей системой целей и ключевых результатов (OKRS), и благодаря этим принципам, положенным в основу их управления, стартап рос экспоненциальными темпами.
