A try: the set of circumstances that cause your current employees to be motivated and productive. If you currently have employees that have a lot of freedom, responsibility and little oversight and who thrive on that, then introducing more formal metrics can make them feel their work is becoming less fun and they become less motivated. But other employees like clear structure and formal methods and they'd welcome such things. Usually the company has one style of management from the start, and people who like working under that style self-selected over time. That gives you your "culture", and changing it means you may make your company's management style less of a good fit for its employees.
