The forced clarity of the way these meetings are structured means that there's a lot less wondering what did she mean. The closet is organized for the first time in a decade, which reduces so much cognitive load. And people start to realize very quickly that things have a place to go. It's pretty quick that you're like, oh yeah, that goes there and this goes there.
We’ve talked a lot about action meetings on the show. And retrospectives. And governance. And strategy sessions. Maybe you’ve wondered, “What do these meetings have to do with one another? How do they actually interact? Do they?”
We’re glad you asked. Because when woven together, they constitute an organization’s operating rhythm—or heartbeat. And sweating the design of that pulse—intentionally building the structural relationship from beat to beat—is what allows teams to unlock their most important work and make progress.
In this episode of Brave New Work, Aaron Dignan and Rodney Evans break down an OG operating rhythm’s fundamental parts, explore how it enables a system to move work forward, and dish about the fruits (greater clarity, efficiency, and accountability to name a few) of this labor.
