Why Run Operational Meetings?

Operational (ops) meetings create a consistent forum where frontline leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders can surface real‑time data, resolve day‑to‑day issues and drive continuous improvement. Unlike quarterly business reviews, ops meetings focus on today’s capacity, quality and safety challenges.

How to Use This Template

  1. Before the meeting: circulate the agenda, pull live KPI dashboards and update last‑meeting action items.
  2. During the meeting: follow the time‑boxed sections below, update the minutes table in real time and assign new actions with owners and due dates.
  3. After the meeting: share the minutes, monitor completion of action items and feed insights into your continuous‑improvement backlog.
