To support remote work, plenty of new SaaS products have come to the party in 2020. The usual suspects highlighted by @G2dotcom in the collaboration/productivity category are not too surprising:
- Video conferencing
- Webinar
- VOIP,
and others.

... What I found most interesting were the new sub-categories on @G2dotcom within collaboration/productivity, specifically #OKR management software.
The use of OKR software has been a big part of business continuity initiatives since March 2020 in the enterprise.

... Note-taking, screen-sharing & visual collaboration tools have been around for a while now. The WFH transition has simply accelerated the adoption of these cloud tools.
The real transformation in operating models for remote teams is the shift to #OKR software.

... As @G2Jazmine observes in this 2021 Digital Trends report (research.g2.com/insights/2021-…),
- "traffic dipped in March, but by April, traffic began to climb far above its pre-lockdown averages and rapidly grew over the summer."

... The #OKR methodology - Objectives & Key Results, was invented by Andy Grove, the former @intel CEO.
🎯 Objectives: What you want to have accomplished
⛳ Key results: How you are going to get that done

#OKR methodology has been the secret to the stupendous results of @intel @Google @Spotify @Airbnb et al.
Today, OKR-based SaaS, like @WorkboardInc, have been helping teams at @Microsoft @IBM @Cisco @reliancegroup @comcast @Workday get aligned on objectives & drive results faster

The shift to remote has raised the collaboration/productivity game for teams on the quest for operational efficiency, business continuity, enterprise agility & most importantly, results.
I believe that's the reason for the uptick in OKR SaaS adoption in the enterprise.

OKRs mainly help teams to:
✅ Strategically align on objectives
✅ Accelerate results
& also:
☑️ Provide clarity on work o̶u̶t̶p̶u̶t̶s̶ outcomes
☑️ Increase accountability + transparency
☑️ Improve agility + employee engagement
OKRs enable productivity without proximity.

#StrategicAlignment can very well become a competitive advantage / moat for a company.
I feel this is where #OKR SaaS trumps #ProjectManagement SaaS.
The latter "did the job" of raising accountability in teams, but it did not align strategic objectives & key resuts.

Well-known SaaS like @asana @Jira @Workfront have added OKR capabilities to their products to drive #StrategicAlignment.
Workfront was in fact acquired by @Adobe recently for $1.5B to bolster their MarTech Operations offerings.

#StrategicAlignment has the potential to raise employee engagement by helping managers & their teams to build trust, develop empathy & give support to each other – which is most important in this #NewNormal.
This infographic from @WorkboardInc conveys these needs beautifully.

If you are a manager, I'd invite you to learn more about OKRs & explore how they can drive #StrategicAlignment for your org.
You'll have to up your game by getting into LFH mode (Lead from Home). Hope you find these insights useful for that:

If you are an OKR software vendor, I'd encourage you to double down on reaching customers who would need your solutions to get to #StrategicAlignment.
Plenty of teams out there who need your technology today, especially for #remotework.
2020 is just the beginning!

Few ideas for #OKR SaaS vendors to win in the marketplace:
1/ Differentiate from the many Project Mgmt, HR Mgmt, Performance SaaS out there
2/ Demonstrate the economic value of #StrategicAlignment for the enterprise
3/ Nurture a product champion(s) at the customer org
