โšก Section 1 โ€” Priority Alerts

๐Ÿ”ด T211 โ€” Igor Martinovic offboarding: Last day is Monday 13 April (Serbia). Access removal and offboarding must be flagged today โ€” 0 working days left before cutover.
๐Ÿ”ด W185 โ€” Rollcard Reserve Account (Conleth): Due today. Funds Flow MSA clause โ€” unresolved. Conleth at Rollcard sync 16:30 โ€” raise in that meeting if not closed before.
๐Ÿ”ด W204/W205 โ€” Scotia Bank / Citi CR Payment: Both due today. Dabbers Bingo payment issue (bank details changed 3ร—). Waiting on Lidia + Laura/Flavia note. Check status first thing โ€” may need to intervene.
๐ŸŸก T209 โ€” Payroll Function meeting time: Ellen requesting move to 10:30. Currently 16:00. Decide and reply to Ellen now (before 09:30). If moved to 10:30, it conflicts with build window.
๐ŸŸก W206 โ€” Gavin morning catchup: Due today โ€” headcount/cost structure + Lee's updates. Catch Gavin before or after FP&A Roadmap (15:00). Gavin has 26 W/F overdue ๐Ÿ”ด
๐ŸŸก Revenue & Attribution ZOOM decisions (from yesterday's meeting): 10 actions delegated to Seamus/Elias/BI. No follow-up W/F items created yet โ€” add these before FP&A Roadmap at 15:00.

๐ŸŽฏ Section 2 โ€” Today's Intent

๐Ÿ— Build Window: 09:00โ€“12:00 (3 hours before Ramp Designs session at 12:00)
Target: 3 build tasks. You have 1 due today + strong this-week backlog to pull from.
T196 โ€” DUE TODAY
Restart Finance Intelligence Layer Review โ€” set recurring day/time this week
โšก Why now: Due today. Lightweight task โ€” book a recurring slot in calendar (30 min). Feeds the intelligence rhythm Niall committed to in reorg context.
T194 โ€” DUE Thu 16 Apr
Quarterly Workshop Pack โ€” review all project, OKR, and operational data ahead of April 22
โšก Why now: April 22 quarterly workshop is 12 days away. Pack needs to be ready before Mon 20 Apr. Starting the data review today gives buffer. Has a dedicated build window slot.
T192 โ€” DUE Fri 18 Apr
Define Financial Performance Report โ€” what it contains, cadence, and owner
โšก Why now: Feeds Lee 1:1 at 14:00 and FP&A Roadmap at 15:00. Context will be live today. Better to arrive with a first draft than to start cold next week.

Non-build items today: 10 (above 5-cap โš ๏ธ) โ€” triage in Section 4. Most are quick admin: NetSuite JE approvals (T201/T202), FloQast review (T203), HiBob signature (T204). Handle these in a batch before the 12:00 meeting. T207, T208, T209 need decisions, not deep work.

โœ… Friday note: Strong meeting day. Build window is clean (09:00โ€“12:00). Use mornings for output, afternoons for meetings. Gavin FP&A (15:00) + Rollcard (16:30) are relationship-heavy โ€” arrive prepped on W/F items.

๐Ÿ“… Section 3 โ€” Meetings Today

09:00 Morning Briefing Solo/Admin
Niall (solo)
Admin block โ€” review this briefing, queue admin tasks
12:00 Ramp Designs / User Screens Project
Sinead Crawford
๐Ÿ“‹ T206 (Item list to Newtec) is a Sinead item โ€” confirm status in this meeting. Prep: Know the Ramp project status from W189 (Momฤilo delegations due 14 Apr).
โš  Stake: Ramp is a live Sprint delivery. Unblocking Sinead means smooth phase completion.
14:00 Lee / Niall 1:1 Leadership
Lee Gwilliam
๐Ÿ“‹ First proper 1:1. T177 (Lee meeting invite) was closed yesterday โ€” good. Agenda suggestion: reorg structure update (ยฃ11m savings finalised?), Lee's role in Rollcard sync today, Revenue & Attribution meeting outcomes (Seamus debrief note: "Elias joining meeting with Lee"). T192 Financial Performance Report context relevant here.
โš  Stake: Lee is a senior stakeholder in commercial territory โ€” poor prep = lost credibility. Come with a crisp agenda.
14:30 Book Time with Niall O'Leary External
Michael Gregoline (Mike)
๐Ÿ“‹ Check meeting purpose before arriving. Mike has multiple W/F items (W009 Rotowire, W171/W172 AR). If this is an Ops/AR discussion, W196 (Seamus AR overview report due 14 Apr) is relevant context.
โš  Note: This runs 14:30โ€“15:00, adjacent to Lee 1:1 ending. Confirm no overlap.
15:00 FP&A Roadmap High Priority
Gavin Smith
๐Ÿ“‹ Gavin has 26 W/F items overdue ๐Ÿ”ด. Use this session to: (1) Batch-close stale W/F where feasible, (2) Confirm Reorg savings figure (W190 โ€” due 14 Apr), (3) Confirm SaaS cost feedback. Revenue & Attribution actions from yesterday โ€” assign Gavin's share formally. T192 (Financial Performance Report) relevant โ€” what Gavin owns vs Finance.
โš  Stake: Gavin is your biggest bottleneck. Walking out without clearing W/F queue = next week worse.
16:00 Payroll Function Time TBC
Ellen Monaghan, Elias Mark
๐Ÿ“‹ Ellen requested moving this to 10:30 (T209 โ€” decide now). Context: T208 (payroll success criteria reply to Katarzyna) is live โ€” have that answer ready. T204 (HiBob UKG signature) โ€” watch for doc. Igor Martinovic offboarding (T211) โ€” flag with Ellen who is the last-day contact.
โš  Stake: If meeting moves to 10:30 it cuts into build window. Weigh time vs Ellen's availability.
16:30 Rollcard Project Sync Project
Kyla (GoChisel), Lee Gwilliam, Jean Costello, Max Bichsel, Conleth Fay, Gary Munson + others
๐Ÿ“‹ Cross-functional. W185 (Reserve Account โ€” Conleth) overdue today โ€” raise here if not resolved. W047 (Rob Cummins return briefing due 12 Apr) โ€” Rob is out. W195 (PMO Rollcard status due 15 Apr) โ€” confirm status in this call. Galileo deadline = 15 Apr (from yesterday's brief).
โš  Stake: Rollcard timeline under pressure. Galileo deadline 15 Apr = 5 days. GoChisel coordination is critical path.
17:15 End of Day Scan Solo/Admin
Niall (solo)
Run Cowork. Post VIKTOR-FEED. Confirm any task closures.

๐Ÿ’น Section 5 โ€” Financial Signals

โฐ Deadline: Rollcard Galileo delivery โ€” 15 April (5 days). GoChisel coordination on critical path. Raised in Rollcard Project Sync today (16:30).
โฐ Deadline: PMO project status reports (W193/W194/W195) โ€” all due 15 April. SpendSmart, Kronos, Rollcard. Trigger PMO if not already in flight.
๐Ÿค– AI/Reorg: Revenue & Attribution meeting yesterday generated 10 structural decisions โ€” move data to BI, earlier close using estimates, new Affiliate account register (JIRA/NS/EVE/Depot). Claude operational cost: ~ยฃ780k annualised (ยฃ70/month trending). Included in ยฃ12.5m reorg savings figure presented to C-Level.
๐Ÿ“Š Quarterly Workshop โ€” 22 April: 12 days away. T194 (Workshop Pack) is on today's build list. Q2 OKRs not yet set for direct reports (T193 โ€” next month). Pre-read prep should start today.

Today's 3-step micro-routine:

๐Ÿ“Œ Week 3 Focus Rule: Slow down. Use pauses. Sound controlled. Today's meetings are high-stakes โ€” Lee 1:1, FP&A with Gavin, Rollcard with 8+ people. Pace > speed.

Before you speak:
โ€ข What's my point? Can I say it in one sentence?
โ€ข No filler (um, like, kind of, I think)
โ€ข 2-second pause after others finish โ€” then respond
