 Step 2: Continuously review and monitor OKRs being
achieved, hold mid-quarter check ins to share progress and
make adjustments.

results. OKRs should be set such that typically you expect
to achieve 70-80% of your goals.

11. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
MBO, KPI AND OKR
 MBOs – Management By Objectives - Management framework
where managers set objectives and measure performance against
it. Popularized by Peter Drucker in the 60s.
 MBO has it’s advantages, however, it overemphasizes the setting
of goals over the working of a plan as a driver of outcomes.
 KPI –Key Performance Indicator - evaluates the success of an
organization or of a particular activity which is often the repeated,
periodic achievement of some levels of operational goal.
Overseeing KPIs can prove expensive or difficult for organizations
and some indicators such as staff morale may be impossible to
quantify.

12. OKR WINS THE GAME!
 MBOs and KPIs are set by a manager in discussion with
an employee. The vast majority of these goals are set and
reviewed annually and their primary purpose is
compensation determination.
 OKRs are used to set ambitious operating goals to focus
people on ongoing execution excellence. Many
organizations keep them distinct from compensation
determination.
 OKRs are typically set collaboratively with at least a
quarterly cadence and progress on them is reviewed
frequently.
