The all-participation nature of OKR focuses the energy of all employees on the most important things. The measurability of OKR can make goals clearer and provide a clear direction for achieving goals.

OKR allows employees to know the meaning of their work, which will promote employees' enthusiasm and initiative in work, which is more conducive to the achievement of organizational goals and greatly reduces the difficulty of work arrangements.

OKR's transparency and top-down approach allow you to truly understand the meaning of your work, rather than being blindly assigned, thus prompting you to have a clear direction for your efforts and making it more likely that you will improve your business capabilities.

OKR requires that each one must be quantified, that is, there are quantity requirements and time requirements.

The measurement standard of KPI is broader. In principle, what can be quantified must be quantified, and what cannot be quantified must be qualitative. Qualitatively, it can be measured from multiple aspects such as time, quality standards, numbers, etc.

OKR emphasizes that everyone's goals are completely transparent and open, and all members can query the goals of other members at will to facilitate team collaboration.

KPIs are more open to the public on a small scale, such as between superiors and subordinates, and among colleagues based on indicators.

OKR emphasizes top-down communication, that is, the goal is decomposed from top to bottom.

KPI is determined by superiors based on predetermined measurement standards and KRI.
