The main difference between OKRs and KPIs lies in their purpose and structure. OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) are goal-setting tools designed to drive change and improvement by focusing on ambitious objectives and measurable results. OKR metrics are essential for ensuring accountability and effectiveness in achieving these objectives. They’re typically short-term and strategic. KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), on the other hand, are used to monitor ongoing performance over time. They track how effectively a team or business is operating. OKRs inspire progress, while KPIs help sustain performance and identify trends.
