AOS Leadership Team Meeting Template

The AOS leadership team meeting is the senior version of the weekly rhythm. Based on the Accelerate Operating System (AOS) model, it keeps leaders aligned on the company scorecard and quarterly priorities, then spends most of its time solving the cross-functional issues only leadership can resolve.

When to use it

Run it weekly, same day and time, as the anchor meeting for the senior team. It is where company-level problems get worked, distinct from the departmental weekly meetings that handle issues closer to the front line.

Who attends

Keep it to the senior leadership team, four to nine people who own a function and a slice of the company scorecard. The room should be small enough for candid debate and the authority to actually decide.

How to run it

Open with a quick check-in, then move fast through the scorecard, priorities, and headlines, sending anything off track or needing discussion to the issues list. Protect the large block for solving those issues at the root, then confirm what cascades to the rest of the company. 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

• Keep the reporting segments brief so the issues list gets the time.
• Route off-track items to issues rather than debating them mid-report.
• Solve company-level issues at the root, not the symptom.
• Decide what cascades so the rest of the company stays aligned.

Common mistakes

• Spending the meeting reporting instead of solving.
• Working departmental issues that belong one level down.
• Solving symptoms so the same company issue keeps returning.
• Forgetting to cascade decisions to the wider team.

Run a leadership meeting that decides. Run it in OrgTP and keep the scorecard, priorities, and issues live for the senior team, with OrgTP adapting to your cadence.
