How to Run High-Impact L10 Meetings in Ninety.io: The Complete Agenda Guide
For companies running on a Business Operating System like the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) or the Force Scaling Framework, the Weekly Meeting is the heartbeat of the organization. Often referred to as the Level 10 (L10) Meeting, this 90-minute session is designed to keep leadership teams focused, aligned, and accountable.
While many teams start running these meetings using manual documents or spreadsheets, the friction of tracking time, notes, and issues manually can quickly derail focus. Dedicated L10 meeting software like Ninety.io automates the agenda and enforces meeting discipline. In this guide, we walk through the exact L10 meeting agenda and how to run it effectively inside Ninety.io.
The 90-Minute L10 Meeting Agenda
The L10 meeting follows a strict, timed 7-step agenda. Ninety.io includes built-in visual timers for each section to keep the team moving and prevent the meeting from running over.
- 1. Segue (5 Minutes): Good News Sharing
Start the meeting on a positive note. Have each team member share one personal win and one professional win from the past week. This transition helps the team pivot from daily operations into strategic focus.
- 2. Scorecard Review (5 Minutes): Tracking Activity KPIs
Review your weekly dashboard metrics. In Ninety.io, the Scorecard displays your targets and actual numbers side-by-side. If a metric is off-track, simply drop it to the Issues List with one click—do not spend time discussing it yet.
- 3. Rock Review (5 Minutes): 90-Day Goals Check-In
Review the status of your 90-day priorities (Rocks). Each owner states whether their Rock is “on track” or “off track.” Just like the Scorecard, any off-track Rock is added to the Issues List to be solved later.
- 4. Customer & Employee Headlines (5 Minutes): Sharing Highlights
Share brief updates about client feedback, employee achievements, or critical organizational news. Good or bad news that requires discussion is dropped straight to the Issues List.
- 5. To-Do List (5 Minutes): 7-Day Accountability
Review tasks assigned during the previous week. The goal is to hit a 90% completion rate on tasks within a 7-day window. In Ninety.io, completed items are checked off, and any overdue tasks are automatically highlighted.
- 6. Identify, Discuss, Solve / IDS (60 Minutes): Issue Resolution
This is the core of the meeting. Review the master Issues List populated during the previous steps. Prioritize the top 3 issues first. Do not just talk about them—use the IDS method to Identify the root cause, Discuss potential solutions, and Solve the problem by creating a concrete To-Do item for the coming week.
- 7. Conclude (5 Minutes): Rating the Meeting
Wrap up by recapping the newly created To-Dos, deciding if any decisions need to be cascaded to the rest of the company, and having each participant rate the meeting from 1 to 10. The goal is to average an 8.5 or higher.
