Executive · How it works

From every team's week to a recorded decision, every step recorded.

The Chief of Staff reads what every team recorded, brings it into one summary and prepares the decisions. A person sets the agenda and decides. The decision goes back to the team that owns it.

01The week

On Friday, the Chief of Staff reads the week's record from every team it has access to. It looks at what was done, what is waiting for approval and what is late.

Parallel work

One Chief of Staff, several agents in parallel

The Chief of Staff splits the week's leadership work. Each agent works its own part, and every decision and message stays with a person.

Who does what

The same path with or without add-ons

With the base pair, the Chief of Staff also keeps the OKRs. Each add-on takes that load off the lead.
