Embedding the communication tools, processes and routines required to create clarity and align everyone in the organization is the key to consistently driving execution and results.

There’s no better way to have a fundamental impact on an organization than by changing its meetings.
A regular meeting rhythm is the heartbeat of the organisation. Keep the same short agenda, hold meetings at the same time, and make sure every meeting ends with clear actions. Good communication and alignment follow from the habit. For more on this, have a read of why actions get agreed but never completed. There is also a general page on meetings on Wikipedia.
