Direct answer

Structure QBRs to expose friction, commit to fixes, and align budgets across marketing, systems, and people.

Key takeaways

  • Use QBRs for decisions, not status updates.
  • Assign owners and dates in the room.
  • Maintain a calm tone focused on systems.

QBRs should be decision forums, not status theater. Set them up to create accountability and budget clarity.

Prep for decisions

  • Pre-read with friction points, data slices, and proposed actions.
  • Assign decision owners before the meeting starts.
  • Limit the live session to decisions and trade-offs.

Convert to execution

Capture commitments, owners, and dates in the room. Publish to a shared tracker and revisit at the next weekly cadence.

Protect the tone

Keep the room calm and constructive. Celebrate fixes and remove blame—focus on systems, not individuals.
