Q3 is officially here. What are you doing to prepare for the second half of the year?
For my team, the end of the quarter means it’s time to get out of the day-to-day grind and do some bigger picture planning.
Every three months we do a quarterly business offsite, where we take a step back so we can review our goals, and set new ones, that will help us move forward in the right direction.
Today we’re talking about the process we follow for our quarterly business offsite and how you can host one of your own. I’ll share the questions we ask to review the previous 90 days, how we capture ideas for improvements, and how we come up with our north star goal for the upcoming quarter.
Enjoy!
