Acceleration Meetings: Keeping Strategy in Motion

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Welcome to Acceleration Meetings — the fourth core component of the Howwe methodology.
While great strategies set the direction, it's rhythm and accountability that keep everything moving forward. Acceleration Meetings give your teams exactly that — a simple, structured way to stay aligned and maintain momentum week after week.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how it works, or read on to explore the concept in more detail.


🚀 What is an Acceleration Meeting?

Acceleration Meetings are short, focused check-ins held on a regular basis by teams working with Most Important Goals and Company Initiatives.
They’re not traditional status meetings — they’re action-oriented touchpoints that help your team stay connected, focused, and agile.


🎯 Why They Matter

Without rhythm, even the best plans fade away. Acceleration Meetings help organizations:

  • Maintain consistent progress on strategic priorities

  • Foster accountability across all levels of the organization

  • Surface blockers and address them early

  • Celebrate wins and share learnings

  • Build a culture of ownership and clarity


⏱️ How It Works

  • Held weekly or bi-weekly — just 15 minutes is enough

  • Team members report on their Key Activities

  • Progress toward Milestones and MIGs is reviewed

  • Successes, challenges, and next steps are discussed

  • Everyone leaves clear on what to focus on next


✅ Best Practices for Success

  • Keep it short and focused

  • Follow a consistent structure every week

  • Always connect the discussion back to your Most Important Goals

  • Use data from the Howwe platform to drive insights

  • Encourage honest dialogue, not just reporting


📚 Key Takeaways

  • Acceleration Meetings are the execution engine behind your strategy

  • They keep your team aligned, fast-moving, and accountable

  • Regular rhythm turns strategy from intention into action

  • Simplicity and consistency are key to long-term success
