01

Challenge

Staff described the annual all-hands as the meeting they watched on mute. Questions went into a form and came back as a note the following week.

02

Approach

A forty-five-minute broadcast from a canal-side room. Questions were submitted live from four sites and moderated by people who do not report to the executive team.

03

Result

Question volume was higher than the previous all-hands. In this sample, the awkward ones were answered on the night.

“They answered the question we actually sent, not a tidier one.”
