Dynamic Control of Multi-Nested OKR Alignment - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18297760 titled 'Dynamic Control of Multi-Nested OKR Alignment

The abstract describes a method for dynamically controlling the alignment of multi-nested Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) through an application service provider server.

• Simplified Explanation:

The method involves executing an enterprise application on a remote computing system, displaying a user interface related to goal-setting, receiving user input for aligning OKRs, and applying alignment permission policies to the OKRs.

• Key Features and Innovation:

- Dynamic alignment control of multi-nested OKRs - User interface for goal-setting within an enterprise application - Alignment permission policies for OKRs

• Potential Applications:

• Problems Solved:

- Ensuring alignment of OKRs within an organization - Streamlining goal-setting processes - Improving communication and collaboration on objectives

• Benefits:

- Enhanced organizational alignment - Improved tracking of key results - Increased transparency and accountability in goal-setting

• Commercial Applications:

"Dynamic Alignment Control System for Enterprise OKRs: Enhancing Organizational Performance and Goal Achievement"

• Prior Art:

Readers can explore existing literature on OKR alignment systems and enterprise goal-setting methodologies.

• Frequently Updated Research:

Stay updated on the latest trends in OKR management and goal-setting practices to optimize organizational performance.

Questions about OKR Alignment: 1. How does the method ensure alignment between parent objectives and child OKRs? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing alignment permission policies for multi-nested OKRs?

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for dynamically controlling the alignment of multi-nested Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) is implemented via an application service provider server including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system and causing surfacing of a user interface on the display of the remote computing system during the execution of the enterprise application, where the user interface corresponds to a goal-setting feature of the enterprise application. The method also includes receiving, via the surfaced user interface, user input including an alignment permission policy for a multi-nested OKR of an enterprise, where the alignment permission policy defines a list of enterprise users who are allowed to align child OKR objects to a parent objective of the multi-nested OKR. The method further includes applying the alignment permission policy to the multi-nested OKR.
