We are not talking tech teams, or delivery teams or product teams when sharing this video. We are talking about any team. The CEO's team, the strategic steering team, the drink beer and eat cake team...any team.
What is important is understanding the logic behind a weekly planning meeting.
IT IS NOT COMMAND AND CONTROL
IT IS ABOUT LOOKING FORWARD AND BEING SOLUTIONS ORIENTATED NOT BACKWARDS LOOKING, NOT EXCUSES RIDDEN
It helps a team focus on discussing progress on the priorities.
The team demonstrates that real progress has been made towards the OKR.
The team can also share important BAU that's planned for the week ahead
It is an opportunity for everyone to say THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO BE DELIVERED IN THE NEXT 5 DAYS
It is an opportunity to discuss market intelligence gathered that week from customers, employees, & competitors
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY IT HELPS THE TEAM REMAIN DISCIPLINED IN NURTURING AN EVIDENCE BASED LEADERSHIP MODEL
