  • Monthly all hands: a company-wide meeting to share updates, celebrate wins, and align everyone on goals and priorities
  • Department and Team OKRs aligned and communicated through monthly business reviews to make priorities visible 
  • Asynchronous updates and standard documentation formats to align and make decisions quickly 
  • Top of mind: every company, department or team meeting starts with an update from the leader on current needs, priorities or opportunities
