Pros
OKRs stretch employees and grow companies.
• The higher frequency in setting
and adjusting OKRs can help teams breakdown their goals and adapt to change more easily.
• The OKR philosophy stresses transparency, which can help increase organizational alignment.
• The aspirational nature of OKRs can stretch employees to reach further. • With the higher frequency, it’s easy
to measure progress and
then realign.
• OKRs balance aspiration with
execution by linking the “why” and “how” together.
Cons
This challenging system may discourage those trying to implent OKRs.
• OKRs take time to adopt.
• Individuals and teams need instant
access to all OKRs in order to properly align; you may need a system with increased goal setting and tracking ability.
• OKRs are highly aspirational. When employees don’t meet all their goals, they may get discouraged.
