Welcome to Shared Narrative #22!

In the last edition, we answered one of the most frequently asked questions about OKR: how long does it take for a company or any individual to overcome the challenges and reap the benefits of OKR?

It was one of the many questions that were being asked to us when we were invited to talk about OKR in Glints Talk 3 (if you missed it, the full recap of the talk can be found here). We were pleasantly surprised to see the number of questions we received during the Q&A session, which suggested a strong interest from the audience in OKR. However, there were only so much we could answer because of the time limitation.

We decided to pick one question and explained about it in SN #21. More specifically, we showed a new perspective when talking about OKR: adopting OKR practice means we’re building a new habit. Then we explained the concept of progress, which includes the theory about the Plateau of Latent Potential based on the insight from James Clear’s book: Atomic Habits.

We got a positive reaction to that edition. In fact, many have asked us to answer more.

Thus, we answered more burning questions about OKR in this edition, specifically those that revolve around how to adopt the OKR practice in a company.

Let’s get to it.
