We get it. Sometimes you're not ready to break the pattern. Sometimes you need more meetings about meetings first.
Since you're not ready for real intervention, here are some optimization-friendly alternatives:
Prefer to optimize around problems yourself? These tools will help you do exactly that:
Stand-ups, retros, and planning sessions. Add more meetings to fix meeting problems.
Slack, Teams, Notion. More tools to optimize around communication breakdowns.
Objectives and Key Results. Measure everything except what matters.
Trust falls and icebreakers. Build harmony around dysfunction.
When you've tried everything above and nothing works. When the meetings multiply. When the tools become the problem. When optimization becomes the stuck pattern itself.
That's when you'll be ready for actual intervention. That's when you'll stop optimizing around problems and start fixing them.
We'll be here when you're ready to actually fix the problem.
