Time: 30 Minutes - 1 Hour

STEP 1: List out 3–5 departments with overlapping goals (“Marketing and Sales for campaigns”) in a spreadsheet and then note communication gaps (“Delayed project updates”).

STEP 2: Schedule a quick meeting with your manager to pitch: “Monthly syncs with [departments] will align us.” Suggest a 1-hour meeting format. 

STEP 3: After you get approval, email reps from each department: “Join our Sync Meeting to share [updates].” Aim for 2–3 reps per department. This can be done in-person or virtually.

STEP 4: During the meeting, have each person share one key update and determine how other departments can align.  Log outcomes (Agreed on [project timeline]) in your notes.

Note: Share the notes with everyone after the meeting in order to create accountability and accessibility to share information.
