Before the session

Read Days 41, 42 and 46 (about five minutes each), or Module 5 on the cheat sheet.

The 30 minutes

  1. 0–5 minOpen

    Quick round: which number do you look at first each week?

  2. 5–15 minDiscuss three days
  3. 15–25 minExercise: The decision test

    List every number the team reports or watches. For each, ask: if this changed tomorrow, what would we do differently? Keep the ones with an answer, and link each to the customer outcome it supports.

  4. 25–30 minAction for the week

    Each person takes one metric we kept, checks how it moved over the past month and brings back one thing it tells us to do.

    Agree the team rule: “If it can't change a decision, we don't report it.”

Watch for

Picking revenue as the one number that matters (Day 41). It's the scoreboard, so ask what customer behaviour sits behind it.

You’ll need

A whiteboard or shared doc, last month's reports or dashboards, and a timer.

Next session: Module 6 · Evidence. Bring the shortlist of metrics and your note on one of them.
