Protect senior leaders' time from status updates, FYIs, and decisions that belong elsewhere. * Curate agendas that are realistic, sequenced by impact, and sized to the time available - fewer, sharper topics rather than a crowded list. 2. Structure & operating rhythm * Build and maintain a clear, formalized structure for each forum - charters, decision rights, membership, and a consistent operating model - creating what does not yet exist and documenting what does. * Own the meeting cadence and calendar across the three forums, protecting senior leaders' time and keeping the groups aligned without overlap (e.g., a weekly SLT block with the Operations and Portfolio Committees alternating). * Maintain a single, connected view across all three forums so structure, terminology, and ways of working stay consistent. 3. Preparation & pre-reads * Ensure high-impact prework and pre-reads so members arrive prepared and meeting time goes to judgment and decisions, not background or status updates. * Partner with decision owners ahead of each session to frame each topic clearly - what is being decided, who decides, what advice is needed, and what a good outcome looks like. 4. Facilitation toward clear actions * Drive every meeting toward clear, owned actions - keeping discussion focused, on time, and ending each topic with a decision, an owner, and a next step. * Ensure that no topic leaves the room ambiguous: capture the decision, who is accountable, and the deadline in real time. * Embed the forums' decision principles into practice (clarity before action, advice over consensus, decision closest to the work, bias toward action, "one and done," close the loop). 5. Information sharing & follow-through * Ensure clear, transparent information sharing after every meeting - publishing agendas, decisions, and action items to the right people and teams so decisions are understood and information flows. * Close the loop - ensure that every decision and action is shared back with the people who gave advice and those who will be impacted, and track actions through to completion. * Act as the connective tissue between these and other forums (eg SMC, DMC, GPC), sharing relevant context, so the groups operate as one coherent system., * Help members and teams to learn and apply new skills - with particular focus on AI and digital tools to increase decision quality, reduce administrative work, improve organizational learning, and create a scalable governance model. * Introduce and embed practices drawn from scrum / agile teams (e.g., clear cadences, prioritization, iteration, and continuous improvement) into how the forums operate. * Watch-building not time-telling - build decision-making and structuring capability in others rather than doing it all centrally. ## Related Videos - [Blueprints for Success: Steering a Global Data & AI Architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1577-blueprints-for-success-steering-a-global-data-ai-architecture) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [Coffee with Developers - Cassidy Williams - ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/912-coffee-with-developers-cassidy-williams) - [Angstfreude - AI and Corporate Culture - The Thrill and the Threat](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100354-angstfreude-ai-and-corporate-culture-the-thrill-and-the-threat) - [Empowering People in a Digital World: HR’s Next Big Chapter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1813-empowering-people-in-a-digital-world-hr-s-next-big-chapter) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) ## Related Articles - [How to Ensure a Reasonable Salary Before an Interview](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/322-how-to-ensure-a-reasonable-salary-before-an-interview) - [The Biggest German Tech Companies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/424-the-biggest-german-tech-companies) - [Software Developer Salary in Switzerland [2023]](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/215-software-developer-salary-in-switzerland-2023) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
