❌ Stop copying. Start understanding.

Too many orgs adopt frameworks like OKRs, “empowered” product teams, or quarterly planning because they saw someone else do it.

• Not because they understand what those frameworks solve for.
• Not because they’re ready to commit to the cultural change required.
• Not because they’re willing to hold people accountable to the outcomes.

It’s cargo cult ops. It’s “they do it, so we should too” with a coat of performative rigour.

And it’s everywhere.

Real product operations starts with understanding why something exists in the first place.

• If you can’t answer what problem OKRs are solving for your org, you’re not ready to use them.
• If you're not measuring trust, alignment, accountability, or outcomes... you're managing theatre.

✨ Never just copy.
✨ Seek to understand.
✨ Measure what matters.
✨ Design for your org, not someone else’s press release.
