Are We Chasing The Wrong Numbers? Rethinking How Leaders Measure Success with Radhika Dutt

View descriptionShare
 

Are we measuring success in a way that's actually holding innovation back?

For decades, organisations have relied on goals, KPIs and OKRs to drive performance. But what if those very frameworks are encouraging short-term thinking at the expense of long-term innovation?

In this episode of Future Fit Leadership, I sit down with MIT-trained engineer, entrepreneur and Radical Product Thinking author Radhika Dutt, whose work is challenging the way leaders think about product management, leadership strategy, innovation and organisational culture.

Radhika introduces a powerful alternative to traditional OKRs through her Objectives, Hypotheses and Learnings (OHL) framework, explaining why great organisations create environments where experimentation, curiosity and learning matter just as much as results. We explore her concept of "vision debt," why many businesses lose sight of their purpose while chasing metrics, and how leaders can build strategies that stand the test of time.

Our conversation also tackles one of today's biggest leadership questions: how AI is changing decision making. Radhika explains why artificial intelligence should enhance human judgement, not replace it, and why leaders who become overly dependent on data and optimisation risk creating products that perform well on paper but fail the people they're designed to serve.

Whether you're leading a business, building products, managing teams or navigating the future of work, this episode offers practical insights into creating high-performing organisations that balance commercial success with curiosity, adaptability and meaningful impact.
