01
Before the meeting
Ask each owner to submit one sentence on progress, one metric with a comparison period, one risk, and one decision needed. Send the packet at least a day ahead.
02
Minute 0–5: outcomes
Review last week’s decisions. Mark each as complete, delayed, or superseded. Avoid rereading the status packet aloud.
03
Minute 5–15: exceptions
Discuss only metrics or projects outside an agreed range. For each exception, state the likely cause, confidence level, and what evidence would change the view.
04
Minute 15–25: decisions
For each decision, name an owner, the options, the tradeoff, and the date it must be revisited. Defer topics without enough evidence.
05
Minute 25–30: commitments
Read back decisions and owners. Publish a short log: decision, rationale, owner, due date, and next check.
