Managing teams with Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has become really popular all over the world – especially since Google’s stellar ascent, attributed partly to the company adopting the OKR process in its early startup days.
Business leaders recognize that motivation is key to success, yet most organizations are terrible at it! Globally, almost 90% of working people are not fully motivated, operating far below the motivation level of Olympic athletes – or even kids at play!

If you want to be inspired about Goalsetting, listen to Earl Nightingale’s 1956 radio talk The Strangest Secret. It is 30 supercharged minutes of timeless and priceless advice from the Grand Master of Goal Setting.
A year full of unexpected challenges for all of us has passed, and another challenging year lies ahead. We have learned that we can rise to the challenges and keep on top of it all – as long as we stay calm and maintain the overview.
What Laura Vanderkam has to offer in her talk is as profound as it is simple. She sees the lack of time most of us so painfully experience not as a byproduct of a hectic modern lifestyle or growing demands in the workplace, but instead, as rooted in a lack of willpower to set priorities and make tough decisions.
Goalscape has always been unbeatable for showing a meaningful image of complex challenges. Now you can bring your projects to life by color coding your goals with 7 carefully chosen shades.
Tomas Tunguz, a former Google Employee on how to avoid burnout. His message is simple:

To deliver a truly great presentation you have to be enthusiastic about your subject matter and confident in your knowledge of it. You also have to engage your audience and interact with them. You have to be assertive, yet flexible and responsive.
A common life goal for many of us is how can we get everything done while at the same time enjoying some freedom and sanity. Yet we still want some structure and a way to prioritise our actions, with a clear image of the big picture. Because that makes you feel even better and gives you some control. For me, Goalscape makes this easy.
I recently stumbled across a goal-setting process called OKR which stands for Objectives and Key Results. I wish I had done so earlier. OKRs are used on a daily basis by successful megaplayers like Intel, Google, LinkedIn and many others. The beauty lies in its simplicity and common sense.

The above example is from top level sport: the principles though apply to any ambitious undertaking.
Information overload is a big problem in competitive sports. Goalscape is my visual index to knowledge, data, history and essential performance related ingredients. As an Olympic athlete; I gravitate toward a clean visual structure. It is my primary learning style for understanding, remembering and communicating complex information.
What high performance teams need is a visual map to show the entire structure of the challenge: every goal and subgoal. They want to fly over the landscape of goals and get the view from 30,000 feet: seeing all the goals at once and the connections between them.
Here is Marcus’ video explaining the new features in the latest Updates package:
