OKRs are subjective goals that have objective measures of success. Naming is a problem here, but the idea that a company shouldn’t have goals that are measurable is flatly wrong. In practice, OKRs seem to break down due to two problems: 1) choosing goals that have subjective or unobtainable measures of success, 2) failing to implement hierarchical and cross-department goals that build synergy rather than siloing.
