Momentum and speed

"I started at this new company a few weeks ago," Frankie announced to me while drinking his coffee.

In order to maintain momentum and speed, an organisation needs to ensure that new staff members are brought quickly up to speed. Two of my newest team members start their 1st day offsite on a day of review and planning where we discussed where we were, where we want to go and how to get there.

Unfortunately, the orientation at most companies is limited to, "Here are the forms to complete, HR has a video for everyone to see, then they'll give you a tour and show you around, .....let me know if you need anything.....the end."
