4. We are starting to talk a lot more about strategy, and we are increasingly aligned on it Are we asking questions? Are we making decisions? Need to keep our eyes on this one. We are growing out of this problem Officially we’re doing 90 min per month, plus a quarterly meeting or retreat. It’s a start. Top management teams spend relatively little time together Agenda setting is unfocused and undisciplined Too little attention is paid to strategy Top management meetings are not decision- oriented Starting to avoid most pitfalls Source: Stop Wasting Valuable Time, Michael Mankins, HBR, September 2004

9. Operational Reviews – Keys to success Short, Frequent, and Data-driven Translate the importance of the data to the people in the meeting – Why is this important to the organization? – What are we doing to improve the information? Make people accountable – Like strategy meetings, track decisions and actions and review at the next meeting – Consider a carrot/stick approach May not have to be bonus related, since these are typically job responsibilities Sometimes recognition alone works

10. Key Success Factors for Rare The first few meetings require lots of prep-work – Plan for this work, and don’t worry about data that is updated to the day or week, but be sure to focus on the issue and decision to be made Document the meeting calendar and ensure attendance – It is not easy with a leadership team located around the world. Track decisions and action items – Show everyone you are making progress and real decisions. Draw the continuity between the meetings – Link operational reviews and strategy meetings by topic. Discuss how they relate.

11. Setting and Keeping to the Agenda Progress towards BSC measures and any commitments the leadership team has made to the organization or each other will drive the agenda There is an open invitation to suggest topics but as the planning begins, usually a week after the last meeting, there will be a reminder (from Emily) to make suggestions Brett will manage agenda setting, make final approval, and chair the monthly calls
