KPIs vs OKRs: What is the Difference and How to Use Them in Operations in 2026

To manage high performance, you need two types of gauges.

KPI (Key Performance Indicator): The speedometer. Measures the health of current operations. (e.g., Response Time, Daily Sales). It's "Business as Usual."
OKR (Objectives and Key Results): The GPS. Measures if you are reaching the strategic destination. (e.g., Launch new product, Expand to Asia). It's "Change."

How to use them together

The KPI ensures the boat doesn't sink. The OKR ensures the boat reaches the island. You need both on your dashboard.
