Make every meeting decide.
Most leadership teams spend under 5% of meeting time actually making decisions.
Meetings That Decide is the system that changes that — in seven short modules.
Busy meetings. Few decisions.
Picture your last leadership meeting. Ninety minutes, the whole team, everyone gave their update, someone agreed to “take it offline” — and then it was over. What did you actually decide?
For most teams, the honest answer is: almost nothing. The agenda is a list of people, not a list of decisions — a status meeting wearing a leadership meeting’s clothes. And it quietly costs you three things:
- Speed — decisions drift into hallways and late-night inboxes while the organisation waits.
- Accountability — nothing was stated, owned, or written down, so the same call gets re-litigated a month later.
- Respect — people stop bringing their best to meetings that decide nothing.
It isn’t a discipline problem. It’s a design problem — and design is fixable.
Imagine meetings that actually decide.
Updates handled in writing, before the room. A short agenda of real decisions. Every call made, owned, and logged — then the team moves on. That meeting is shorter, people show up prepared, and your organisation starts to move at the speed of its decisions. It isn’t a fantasy — it’s a system, and it’s completely learnable.
INTRODUCING...
Meetings that Decide...
What’s inside
Seven short modules — each a focused video, a workbook, and one real-world action — that hand you the whole system, the same one we install with leadership teams in the field.
- 1 · Why Your Meetings Don’t Decide — the inform-versus-decide distinction, and finding your number.
- 2 · The Meeting as a Decision-Making Body — the six design principles that turn a meeting into a decision engine.
- 3 · The Architecture: Four Forums & the Cascade — the right conversation in the right room.
- 4 · Kill the Status Update: The Pre-Read — “no pre-read, no decision,” and the twenty-minute one-pager.
- 5 · Running the Room — the norms, the three roles, and the decision log.
- 6 · Installing It Without Stopping the Business — the part no competitor teaches.
- 7 · Your Diagnostic & 90-Day Plan — an honest baseline, then one forum, one habit, one timeframe.
You finish with an honest baseline, a working system, and a concrete next step.

Meet Doug...
I’m Doug Girvin, co-founder of Transilience Partners. I’ve spent decades building and leading organizations — as a Founder, CEO, and consultant. I'm leveraging that experience to help leadership teams change the way they work.
Meetings That Decide comes straight from the field: the system I install with leadership teams to turn status-heavy meetings into a decision-making cadence. It rests on a simple conviction — that change reverts when leaders reach for a tool instead of redesigning the work. Get the structure right, and better decisions follow.
This course hands you that structure, so your team can meet on purpose — not out of habit.

This course is for you if…
- You lead a team that meets regularly — and suspects those meetings could do far more.
- Your agenda is a round-the-table of updates, and the real decisions get three rushed minutes at the end.
- You’re tired of re-litigating calls you thought were already made.
- You want a system your team can actually run — not another set of meeting tips.
- You’d rather change the structure than rely on everyone trying harder.
