Everyone is using OKR, but orgs are not getting the results they want.
I’ve talked to hundreds of orgs about the problems they wanted to solve with OKR. The same 12 issues appeared, regardless of whether they used OKR or not.
I’d bet that you'll relate to some of them (thread):
11) Employees resist setting ambitious OKRs/goals, admitting mistakes, or asking questions.
12) People don’t take ownership of their OKRs/goals. People see them as a formality that doesn’t guide their day-to-day work.
OKR is just a tool, and the results you get from any tool depend on how you use it.
Learn why companies are not getting results from OKR and what you can do about it in my new article.

Ford's CEO explains why legacy companies must make profound changes to get software right.
Most orgs were not designed to build great products.
They were designed to reduce costs, even if it meant losing the competencies needed to build future products.

Great advice from @jerrycolonna:
“Efforts to improve organizational culture that fail to address leaders’ own growth areas and challenges will, at best, shift things on the margins. Those who hold power must do their work.”
It's fun to see Silicon Valley folks surprised that Threads launched no updates in SIX DAYS while many corporations can't release anything in six months.
Two opposing mental models at play.

“Some product teams live in an analytics-free environment” @sfjmorris
Can teams in this scenario work like real product teams? I don't think so.

I have this old 2006 BusinessWeek framed as a reminder. The “risky bet” that Wall Street disliked was AWS, which generated revenue of more than $62 billion last year.
