Radhika Dutt challenges traditional goal-setting frameworks and introduces OHLs (Objectives, Hypotheses, and Learnings) as a more effective alternative for today's knowledge workers who are solving complex puzzles rather than performing repetitive tasks.
• Goals and targets originated in the 1940s for unskilled, unionized workers doing repetitive tasks
• Today's workforce needs a puzzle-solving mindset rather than target-hitting approach
• AI accelerates "enshittification" by optimizing metrics while hiding negative consequences
• OHLs framework asks: How well is it working? What have we learned? What are we doing next?
• Even middle managers can start implementing OHLs by reframing their own work as puzzle-solving
• Successful organizations create cultures of psychological safety where honest discussions about successes and failures can occur
• Intel's success came from Andy Grove's "paranoid obsession with never getting complacent," not just OKRs
• The OHLs template is available at radicalproduct.com
Radhika invites listeners to reach out to her on LinkedIn and share their experiences implementing OHLs, as she's currently writing her second book and looking for case studies.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
