Our love ❤️ for chat, team coordination, and OKR

One of our clients reported the following in late 2019:
“After using OKR for less than 3 months, I sent much fewer Telegram messages to remind my team about our weekly priorities.”
After we shared it in this article, we received several inquiries from curious leaders and our fellow global OKR coaches specifically about that testimony.
Hence, we thought it’d be fun to further explore that particular topic with the person who said it, Hadikusuma Wahab (or “Dhiku” as his peers and close friends like to call him).
Dhiku currently serves as the Senior VP of Product in Vidio.
Fun fact: As the largest streaming platform in Indonesia, Vidio recently snapped the no.1 most downloaded free app on Play Store Indonesia. Zoom, the ubiquitous app during this COVID-19 pandemic, reigned over the second position.
Starting in 2020, Vidio has adopted OKR as its way of working across the board, including the Management in which Dhiku is in. The following excerpt is part of our recent conversation with Dhiku about his experience adopting OKR at a company scale. The complete dialogue will be published soon.
“We, Asians, love to chat.” Dhiku started.
And, that love to chat spills over into the realm of work.
“It is not surprising to see your friends’ or your own WhatsApp/Telegram filled with tens of work-related chat groups.”
