You feel like a broken record, and half the company still hasn't heard the priorities. Decided checks in with every team weekly and shows you who's on the plan.
"I went over the three priorities at the offsite, at the all-hands, in every staff meeting. I felt like a broken record. Turns out Sales never heard number two. With Decided, I see who's on the plan every week. Now I say it once." How Decided helps:
At 30 people you knew what everyone was doing. At 200 you don't know some of the people, and every update reaches you through a VP first.
Decided asks every team what they're working on and checks it against the plan. You see who missed it and talk to them, instead of repeating it to everyone.
Decided talks to leaders, managers and key people one at a time, every week. You hear what changed and what's stuck from the people doing the work.
Your VPs run their own teams well. Launches slip in the gaps between teams. Decided finds what's stuck between functions and keeps asking until it has one owner and a date.
Clara has a short voice check-in with each leader, manager and key person every week. No forms, no new dashboard. She asks what changed, what's stuck and what needs a decision. Decided puts the answers together and shows you where every team really is.
The priorities your exec team set, next to what each team is actually working on. You see where the plan held through the layers and where a team runs a different list.
What changed, what's stuck between teams, and who each decision is waiting on. The meeting starts with decisions, not status updates.
At the next check-in Clara asks if the decision was made and who's doing the next step. It stays open until it's done, so it doesn't quietly die between meetings.
The exec team agreed on three priorities at the offsite. Two weeks of check-ins showed Sales managers still working from last year's list. The VP of Sales fixed it in week two, and the company closed the year on plan.
Launches depended on product, sales and support, and each VP thought another one owned the handoff. Every handoff got one name, and cross-functional launches slipped 60% less that year.
At 200 people, a priority that drifts for a quarter is a quarter of payroll spent on the wrong list. The QBR shows it after the money is spent. Decided shows it the week it starts.
Those tools show what people type in. Decided asks your leaders and teams what changed and what's stuck, then compares the answers across teams. It finds what falls between your tools.
They agree on who sees what before the first check-in. Decided shows where priorities split between teams. It doesn't score anyone or report on one person.
A short voice check-in per person each week, booked in their calendar. No forms, nothing to maintain.
No. You see patterns across teams, not anyone's answers.
Start small: your exec team and their direct reports, the teams on one cross-functional launch, or the teams in a reorg. One round of check-ins, one brief, then you decide.
