"Measure What Matters" is an instant New York Times bestseller that explores the revolutionary movement behind the explosive growth of renowned companies such as Intel, Google, Amazon, and Uber. Written by legendary venture capitalist John Doerr, the book introduces the concept of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) and how it has transformed organizations, leading to remarkable success.
The book narrates the story of how John Doerr invested nearly $12 million in a small 40-person startup with incredible technology and ambitious goals but lacking a clear business plan. By introducing the founders to the OKR system, the startup, which eventually became Google, experienced exponential growth. Today, Google has over 70,000 employees and a market cap exceeding $600 billion.
John Doerr has introduced OKRs to more than fifty companies, helping tech giants and charitable organizations exceed their expectations. The OKR model emphasizes setting clear objectives and defining key results to achieve those goals. It fosters coordination, enhances workplace satisfaction, and drives exceptional performance.
The book features first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with narrators like Bono and Bill Gates, to showcase the agility and explosive growth that OKRs have brought to many successful organizations.
With a foreword by Larry Page and contributions from Bono and Bill Gates, "Measure What Matters" provides insights on collecting timely, relevant data to track progress and achieve meaningful results. It serves as a guide for any organization or team looking to aim high, move fast, and excel.
The book has garnered praise from prominent figures such as Bill Gates, Former Vice President Al Gore, Sheryl Sandberg, and Jim Collins, who consider it a must-read for those seeking to improve organizational performance and achieve greatness.
Additionally, the book "Speed & Scale," written by John Doerr, focuses on environmental matters and offers guidance on how to address and combat environmental challenges.
