About the Book

Superficially KPIs and OKRs look similar but that does not mean they are the same thing. Allan Kelly, author of the best-selling Succeeding with OKRs in Agile found himself being asked again and again "How do you combine OKRs with KPIs?" So he went back to basics before setting out to definitively answer the question.

The trick he discovered is to understand just what type of KPIs (key performance indicators) you have. Once you know that you might want to rethink even trying, or you might be able to follow Allan's recipe to create a complementary business operating model.

In this book Allan:

- provides brief introductions to both KPIs and OKRs

- describes the 3 common KPI models used in enterprises

- how to adopt OKRs to complement your KPIs and when to skip using OKRs altogether

- outlines the findings of his own research on KPIs

- examines the roll of metrics and targeting in companies and some of the pitfalls to avoid

- discusses why businesses need a purpose beyond the numbers
