Product Updates 2020.11

Accelerate Accountability / Accelerate Results

Accountability is a perennial issue reported by CEOs and employees alike. Our customers tell us how critical it is to success. It’s always true - but especially in the new connected (aka “remote”) workplace.  This round we highlight some improvements that further enhance accountability and ownership of outcomes for everyone. 

That means you can thrive no matter where your teams are working or what challenges arise. As always, reach out for a free strategy session to see how these updates apply directly to your teams.

 

Accelerate progress by spotting and removing “blockers”

One of the most frequent causes of delay and inflated cost is missed calls for help from teammates. It’s one of those disconnects that sabotages accountability and slows down results. That means that when you can see quickly where things are blocked, you can focus your attention and get the moving again. And that really means you get more done in less time.

See everything that's blocked using the new shortcut under Team > Priority > #blocked (#stuck).

In the news: A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review found 82% of managers surveyed said they had little to no ability to hold others accountable.
