Interesting. How did you like it? Does every person at Intel have their own quarterly OKR list, or do they stop propagating down at some level? Were they always on time? How did lower levels give input with regard to what they thought were important goals? Or did really everything come top-down?

Oh, I hadn't heard it was that old. Fascinating, so far I've always thought it was something that came directly out of Google itself.
