The words we use

In the order you meet them every month.

Big goal
One measurable result with a deadline, in an area like growth, finance or operations. We recommend about a year, lined up with your calendar year, but you choose the length. Start with three; up to five.
What makes a good big goal →
Pitch
An idea from anyone in the company that ties to a big goal. AI reviews it before leaders see it.
Tie every idea to a goal →
Decision meeting
Once a month, leaders approve, bank or reject each pitch. Also called the Decision Pitch Meetingâ„¢.
How to run one →
Priority
An approved pitch for one month, with one owner.
Executed or failed →
Weekly update
A written post from each owner every week: on course or deviating, then what got done, what’s in the way and what’s next.
How to write one →
Execution rate
The share of finished priorities that were executed, for the year so far.
How it’s worked out →
Decision velocity
Speed and direction together: big goals set the direction, monthly cycles set the speed, and every month is scored honestly.
What decision velocity means →
