Our people stopped dancing around their setbacks. They began to realize there was no shame in trying your hardest and failing, not when OKRs help you fail smart and fail fast. The tide turned. We began hearing comments like “I was a complete naysayer, but now I see how this can work for me.” Ninety-eight percent of the pilot group became active users of our OKR platform; 72 percent set at least one objective aligned to the company’s goals. And 92 percent of the pilot group said they now understood “what my manager expects of me.”
