Why do OKRs at all? Ben's analysis of the 7 potential benefits

Why do OKRs in the first place? You MUST be clear on the answer to this question BEFORE deploying OKRs.

Do you know YOUR answer? And it should not be just because "Google does it" or "My CEO read a book and she loved it so now we're all doing OKRs"

The Benefits include 5 General Ones:

1-Shorter Cadence

2-Focus

3-Transparency/Alignment

4-Engagement

5-Stretch Thinking

+ 2 More that Ben has identified:

6-Common Goal Language

7-Learning Culture

If you're using OKRs, please share why you chose to deploy OKRs in the comments. Was it one of the 7 benefits covered in this episode? If not, please share your "why" so we can all benefit:)
