What is the exact hour-by-hour structure of a full-day session with you, and what physical rules govern the room?

A standard session day runs from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. We start promptly with Good News, sharing personal and professional victories to transition everyone out of firefighting mode. By 9:00 AM, we review the prior quarter: we grade our Rocks, review the financial Scorecard, and assess whether we met our previous operational commitments.

Next, we review the Vision/Location Organizer (V/TO) to confirm that our Core Values, Core Focus, and marketing strategy still reflect organizational reality. By late morning, we establish new Rocks for the upcoming ninety days, ensuring every priority is specific, measurable, and assigned to a single seat on the Accountability Chart.

Lunch gives your brain a break, but by 1:00 PM we begin the heaviest block of the day: pure IDS. We take the unresolved issues list generated during our morning reviews and spend three uninterrupted hours identifying root causes, debating solutions, and assigning concrete action items. At 4:30 PM, we conclude: we confirm next steps, agree on what to communicate to the company, and rate the meeting on a one-to-ten scale.

The room rules are absolute: no laptops open unless projecting data, cell phones on silent and face down, and total honesty without corporate posturing. You are there to solve structural problems, not protect feelings.
