What are the challenges Adobe faced in implementing the OKR framework and how were they overcome?

Adobe faced the challenge of a time-consuming annual review process that was costing the company 80,000 manager hours a year. They overcame this by dropping the annual reviews in favor of continuous performance management in 2012. They combined this with quarterly goals and built-in tracking of OKRs. Adobe also implemented a system of conversations, feedback, and recognition to lift everyone's achievement.
