'In the moment' guidance in a 1:1

We all have different levels of experience and comfort in having 1:1s. The guidance embedded in OpenBlend levels up this difference to ensure everyone has a consistent experience.

Review the purpose of your 1:1 and agenda items to focus on the most impactful topics. With the GROW framework built-in to the platform: Goal, Reality, Obstacles, and Way Forward – each 1:1 conversation is guided from discussion into action. 


Driving the outcomes of a 1:1

The objective of a 1:1 is to walk away with clear actions and desired outcomes.

All conversations end in action setting with an owner, a due date and relevant details required for completion. This action is then nudged and tracked from start to finish by both parties.
