If you're running your strategy through quarterly reviews, I've got some uncomfortable news: for a business trying to scale fast, that's already too slow.

I get asked a version of this question a lot: "This is clever, but couldn't I just get Claude to do it myself?"

Most managers want to run good 1:1s. What stops them is load. Before a conversation happens, a manager has to build an agenda, recall what was agreed last time, find the relevant goals across two or three systems, and set aside time to write it all up afterwards. When that load is high, the 1:1 is the first thing to drop. It gets postponed, cut to fifteen minutes, or quietly becomes a status update.
