The AOS issues resolution meeting exists to actually solve problems, not just discuss them. Based on the Accelerate Operating System (AOS) model, it prioritizes the issues list, gets to the root of the few that matter most, and turns each into a decision with an owner so the same problem does not return next week.

When to use it

Run it whenever the issues list has grown faster than your regular meetings can clear it, or when a cluster of related problems needs dedicated time. Many teams use it as a focused working session between weekly meetings.

Who attends

Bring the people who can actually decide and act on the issues, four to ten of them. Include enough cross-functional perspective to find the real problem, but keep it small enough to reach decisions.

How to run it

Build the issues list, prioritize ruthlessly, and resist the urge to touch every item. For each top issue, identify the real problem beneath the symptom, discuss it openly, and land on a decision with an owner and a deadline. Solving three issues for good beats discussing ten. Note: this agenda is an independent interpretation of the AOS quarterly-rhythm model and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any provider.

Facilitator tips

Prioritize hard and solve the top few completely.
Push past the symptom to the underlying problem every time.
Drive each issue to a decision, not an open-ended discussion.
Close every solved issue with an owner and a deadline.

Common mistakes

Trying to touch every issue and solving none of them.
Treating symptoms so the same issue returns next week.
Discussing endlessly without ever deciding.
Solving an issue but assigning no owner to act.

Turn your issues list into resolved problems. Run it in OrgTP and keep issues, decisions, and owners in one trusted place, with OrgTP adapting to your cadence.
