What is the purpose and structure of the mid-quarter Just Checking In calls you run with our Integrator, and how do they keep our 90-day cycle from breaking down?

Question

Tyler Smith · Accepted Answer

Between our full-day quarterly sessions, momentum can easily get derailed by daily fires. The mid-quarter Just Checking In call, typically scheduled around Month 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21, is a focused 30 to 45-minute touchpoint designed to ensure execution does not drift between sessions.

This call is not a consulting session or a strategic pivot meeting. Its sole purpose is to inspect the health of your execution rhythm. The Integrator walks me through three specific checkpoints:
- The health and consistency of your weekly Level 10 Meeting pulse across the company.
- Current Rock completion trajectories, specifically identifying any Rock marked off-track and reviewing the corrective action underway.
- Scorecard discipline and whether your leadership team is aggressively using IDS to solve root causes rather than treating symptoms.

If the Integrator is experiencing friction holding team members accountable, struggling to keep the Visionary focused on the V/TO, or encountering resistance as tools roll out to department tiers, we troubleshoot the roadblock immediately. This brief touchpoint prevents small operational misalignments from compounding into a wasted quarter, ensuring your team arrives at the next session with results rather than explanations.
