Some time ago I facilitated a VIP Planning Day for a small accounting practice. During the course of the day we reviewed the progress they had made since Planning Day we had the year before.

As we were reflecting on their achievements before planning the future, one of the partners made the comment on how crucial their weekly meetings were. Originally when I first suggested they have regular weekly meetings, the same partner thought it was a waste of time as he was focused on how much time it cost to have everyone stop work for that hour.
