SUMMARY:BOD™ LIVE | Topline Meetings
DESCRIPTION:Hey KS\, what is a topline meeting? That’s a question that was posed at our BOD™ LIVE meeting in May. The purpose of topline is to review the “topline” status of each client project\, rather than dig into the nitty gritty. A topline meeting allows you\, the business owner\, to identify next steps\, gauge employee workload\, and set task completion dates as required. Whether you conduct topline meetings in-person or remotely\, these mandatory weekly team meetings keep projects moving forward\, provide structure to hold team members accountable\, and contribute to projects that run more efficiently.  \nIf you’re serious about transforming your business by implementing the systems and procedures you learn about through Business of Design®\, our monthly BOD™ Live meetings will help keep you motivated\, accountable\, and in good company. \nCome prepared with your questions\, and be ready to offer experience\, expertise and support to your fellow members. \nJoin us each month to help fast track the process and address your most pressing questions. \nYou are not alone.
