How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of ‘Intangibles’ in Business by Douglas W. Hubbard is a game-changing book that debunks the myth that certain things – like employee satisfaction, innovation, or strategic risk—are immeasurable. It’s especially useful for leaders, strategists, and data-driven thinkers who want to make better decisions using quantifiable methods.
Methodologies for goal-setting including OKRs are so deeply ingrained in our corporate culture and taken as gospel that we don’t question if they need to be improved. Any criticism of OKRs is often considered heresy.
In this thought-provoking talk by the author of Radical Product Thinking: The New Mindset for Innovating Smarter, you’ll learn to recognize patterns of how OKRs might be leading you astray and the dangers of setting targets. But without targets, will you and your team be as ambitious, driven, or motivated in what you’re trying to achieve? Spoiler alert: Yes, yes, and yes! You’ll learn about OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses and Learnings), a powerful alternative to goal-setting: a framework so you can measure what matters, encourage experimentation and curiosity to drive better results, and ultimately help every team member take ownership of making progress toward your shared vision.
