Engaging Leadership Stakeholders again

The Refresh Workshop is now complete, and your team is revitalised for the final 50-day sprint.  This week, it would be good to take some time with the Coach and Team Leader to debrief from the Refresh Workshop.

Your Task This Week

Before drafting the note to other leaders, review the Deep Dive What does Success look like?  

Strategic Alignment with the Team Leader and Coach

The Coach and Team Leader will meet within a few days of the workshop to harvest the energy and clarity generated.  Once they have had their initial debrief, join them to solidify the “Sustainability Path”.

  • The Impressions: Gather their takeaways from the workshop—did they see the shift in the Team’s confidence?

  • Sustainability Foundations: Discuss the actionable ideas for “sustaining the gains” that emerged during the workshop, focusing on what can be launched immediately.

  • Leadership Engagement: Identify which other senior leaders need to be engaged now to prepare for life after Day 100.

  • The Briefing Note: You can ask the Coach to draft it (or do it yourself) for the broader leadership group. This note should communicate the Team’s progress and invite leaders to participate in final sustainability planning.
