Sets the operating cadence across scrutiny, executive oversight and delivery forums. Defines pack deadlines, decision routing, escalation paths and closure checkpoints, so forums stay decision-led and actions close predictably.
Governance often adds meetings and paper, but decisions still drift and actions stay open. The Cadence Planner sets a clear rhythm across scrutiny, exec and delivery, so packs land on time and closure is consistent.
For governance and delivery teams who need a single, repeatable forum rhythm across programmes and assurance requirements, without adding reporting load.
Inputs
We keep inputs minimal and practical—enough to standardise the cadence without redesigning your governance model from scratch.
Your current forums (scrutiny/oversight, exec, delivery) and how often they meet—so the cadence reflects reality.
Outputs
A clear view of forums and timing across scrutiny, exec and delivery—showing how escalation flows between them.
Repeatable agenda blocks that keep meetings decision-led and reduce narrative sprawl.
A simple pipeline for pack production—deadlines, owners, dependencies and sign-off points.
A structured “what must be decided” queue—so decisions don’t bounce, stall or arrive unprepared.
Built-in closure discipline for actions and unresolved items, with clear routes for escalation.
A practical readiness checklist for packs, decision papers, pre-reads and closure hygiene.
Configuration
Configured during implementation to match your governance model, statutory context, and assurance needs—without forcing a one-size-fits-all structure.
Configure forums, frequency, timeboxes and quorum/minimum attendance—so governance is workable, not theoretical.
Confirm stakeholders, current forum rhythm, pack pain points, and where decisions stall (approvals, assurance, dependencies, procurement). Agree the first forum cycle and pack to stabilise.
Define the minimum cadence design: forum roles, timeboxes, agenda blocks, pack owners, decision categories, and escalation triggers. Set the standard for “decision-ready” and “closure-complete”.
Configure the planner in the Workspace with role-based access, pack deadlines, templates and escalation routes—then run the rhythm with consistent logs and closure checkpoints.
