Seven questions to choose from
- What problem keeps returning because we have not addressed its cause?
- Which customer or activity creates revenue but too little value?
- What are we tolerating that contradicts our standards?
- Which decisions wait for the owner when they should not?
- What must be finished in the next 90 days?
- Which assumption behind our plan most needs testing?
- What will we stop doing to make room for what matters?
A 15-minute agenda
- Minutes 0 to 3 · Choose and reflect
Select one question. Give everyone a moment to write their own response.
- Minutes 3 to 8 · Compare the evidence
Hear each perspective. Use a specific example rather than a general opinion.
- Minutes 8 to 12 · Make a decision
Agree one change or one assumption to test. Keep the scope small enough to act on.
- Minutes 12 to 15 · Commit
Name the owner, first action and review date. Define what progress will look like.
