Status Update staff meetings are best done one-on-one, it's a waste of other's time; besides, they are boring and ineffective. What to do instead? Try these ideas:
- What are the key outcomes we are on the hook for? How will know if we are achieving them?
- What are the risks we face? What should we do about them?
- What is the data we wish we knew about our business? Is it knowable? How will we find it? If it is not knowable, what scenarios should we plan for?
- What stupid stuff are we doing? I would have this as a staff topic at least twice a year. Grit always creeps into the gears, and old habits lose their usefulness. Question them.
- What has changed in our market, business, or customers’ markets and businesses? What does that mean for our plans?
- What process or infrastructure improvement would have the biggest impact on our ability to deliver?
- What has become harder and easier in our work and business? What should we consider changing?
- What should we all be learning about this year in addition to our core work? What do we want to be better at, or smarter about next year?
- Who in our organization has done something remarkable that we should recognize?
- Who are the stars in our organization that we should be investing in developing?
- Who/what groups should our team be communicating, networking, or improving our brand with? How should we do it?
