In this episode of #Asking4T, we take a closer look at OKRs—and the uncomfortable gap between the goals organizations set and the outcomes they actually achieve.
Are your OKRs really driving meaningful change, or are they just making the dashboard look good? We'll talk about ambitious goals, vanity metrics, accountability, alignment, and what happens when teams start optimizing for the number instead of the outcome.
We'll explore why OKRs fail, how they get gamed, when a stretch goal becomes completely unrealistic, and whether some goals are better killed than carried forward.
Join us for a conversation about goals, measurement, organizational theatre, and the uncomfortable question: Are your OKRs telling the truth?
Rob and Saj Asking for Trouble is part conversation, part social experiment. Sometimes it's insightful. Mostly it's chaotic. Usually it's both.
