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.
