OKRs and KPIs are scams. Human language and psychology are both vague and malleable. The kinds of people who are good at meeting OKRs aren't the kinds of people who can produce quality work. OKRs are mostly about lowering expectations prior to implementing and exaggerating results after implementing... It's mostly psychological work, a magic trick, not real productivity.
The goal of this game is to sacrifice long term gains for short term gains; build a house of cards fast to boost your OKR scores and get promoted fast... Then let the next person who is assigned to the project take the blame for the collapse.
People don't care about foundations... Only thing that matters is whose watch the tower falls on. People are literally that ignorant and superficial. It works every time.
