Establish shared direction before the discussion starts.

Starting a meeting.

Message · Application framework · No. 101

The shape

  1. Purpose
  2. Outcome
  3. Agenda
  4. Participation

Why that order

People who do not know what the meeting is for will each decide privately, and the first fifteen minutes go on discovering that they decided differently.

A worked example

The purpose today is to decide whether we go with Option A or B. By the end we need a decision. We will review the risks, compare the options, then agree the next step.

Mostly serves Message, and reaches into Intent.

A framework tells you what shape the answer takes. It cannot tell you whether shape is what you are short of, and for most people it is not. Which one is yours, and whether a framework is the right instrument at all, is what a Discovery Call is for.
