I think "OKRs" exemplify this best because after reading the wiki page I'm not sure that they exist. As pointed out in the article, it seems to be a term that describes ... nothing in particular. Every serious industry since at least the days of Toyota's rise has used metrics. I don't think the tech industry has ever shown me something that has improved on what traditional industries use. The only change is the underlying processes of the tech industry are too chaotic to harness (what management process gives us Google? Given that we have literally 1 Google do we have enough evidence to reject it being built with a different management style? No. On the other hand Toyota could only exist with Toyota's management style.) and so any amount of management quickly becomes futile. Time will pass, we'll hit the boring part of the S curve in processor improvement and then management culture will start to be a factor. And the industry will be a lot more boring, less growth focused and care a bit more about consistency and reliability.
