The episode covers why tying a bonus to a key result turns goal-setting into the budget game, why OKRs are not KPIs, how a quarter boundary should be run, and where the model gets awkward: sales, and individual performance review.", "chapters": [{"t": "00:00", "title": "From Intel to Google, via John Doerr", "seconds": 0}, {"t": "02:31", "title": "Objectives are text, key results are numbers", "seconds": 151}, {"t": "05:06", "title": "Where OKRs sit against strategy and vision", "seconds": 306}, {"t": "07:46", "title": "Top-down first, then the negotiation upward", "seconds": 466}, {"t": "10:25", "title": "Why money must not be attached", "seconds": 625}, {"t": "13:08", "title": "Weekly confidence and raising your hand early", "seconds": 788}, {"t": "15:38", "title": "Five objectives, not seventeen", "seconds": 938}, {"t": "18:20", "title": "The quarter boundary: retro before roadmap", "seconds": 1100}, {"t": "20:58", "title": "Transparency, alignment and radical honesty", "seconds": 1258}, {"t": "23:32", "title": "OKRs versus KPIs", "seconds": 1412}, {"t": "26:06", "title": "Do executives write their own?", "seconds": 1566}, {"t": "28:39", "title": "Tooling, from a whiteboard to software", "seconds": 1719}, {"t": "31:09", "title": "Development discussions and continuous feedback", "seconds": 1869}, {"t": "33:46", "title": "The hard case: sales", "seconds": 2026}, {"t": "36:17", "title": "Scaling down to one person, and what the model really is", "seconds": 2177}], "sourceTranscriptType": "macwhisper_srt", "subtitleMethod": "none", "provenance": "Owner page assembled from the MacWhisper SRT transcript, YouTube metadata and the neuvottelija.fi episode record.
