How to Create an Effective Meeting Framework (+ Agenda & Minutes Templates)

TWO PIZZA RULE

Small and focused

The "Two Pizza Rule" is a strategy used by Amazon to keep meetings small and focused, with the idea that if a meeting is small enough to be fed with two pizzas, it will be more efficient and less prone to distractions.

CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS

Disagree and commit

Using written documents, such as "narratives" and "press releases," is another strategy to help facilitate discussions and decision-making.

CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS

Disagree and commit

Encourage employees to speak up and challenge assumptions using the "disagree and commit" process which allows for open and honest debate and ultimately, alignment and moving forward as a team.

DATA DRIVEN
