What does it mean to say that OKRs are networks? Why should you think of them as networks and not hierarchies?
In this episode, host Jenny Herald speaks with Chris Butler, global head of operations of Cognizant. He also wrote a post, “OKRs are networks, not hierarchies” that explains his thoughts on the subject of why OKRs are networks, and why he doesn’t care for hierarchies.
Listen in to learn more about OKR networks, randomness and biases, and the Trojan horse of strategy. Chris discusses introducing more variance into work, how to think about the way that people are using products, and the concept of communal computing.
“If you can in some way help everybody be more educated, maybe we can get somewhere better.” — Chris [00:06:48]
