OKRs can be difficult and in some cases OKRs fail altogether. For those who get it right, OKR can be powerful on performance. If you are going to implement OKR, you will be motivated want to do these things:

Make everyone aware of our strategic priorities
Set goals that align with our strategic priorities
Share accountability for performance
Get better at metric / KPI measurement and management
Make stretch goals a normal and welcome part of how we set goals
Consider openly what we should commit to and reach consensus
Stop people getting distracted and always work on what matters most
Get specific teams to work together more closely
Allow information on plans, progress and problems to flow freely and not be hidden
Give people the skills and tools to say no to things that are less important
Give people visibility of what others are working towards and provide context for decisions
Energise people and create more drive to make outstanding goal progress
Solve issues slowing down progress
Recognise those doing great work
Provide more autonomy and improve performance
Support managers to support their teams more effectively
Create a high performing culture

If these are not things you value, are areas where you already excel, or simply aren’t priorities, then OKRs might not be the right fit. Using them in name only or eventually abandoning them altogether could leave a gap in your strategic alignment.
