Fennwood All Hands, October 2026

All hands meeting deck with the same order every month

Fennwood Foods runs a 45 minute all hands on the first Tuesday of the month, and the deck has used the same eleven slide order for two years. The order matters more than the content, because a team that knows where the numbers, the new faces and the priorities will be stops reading ahead and listens.

Logistics coordinator. Ran a 40 truck fleet and is untangling the Thursday dispatch crunch first.

Grace Aluko

Accounts, ERP support through cutover. If your timesheet looks wrong this month, Grace is your person.

08

Slide 8 · process · The line in three phases with what changes for each team, which is what people actually ask.

November priorities

Five, each with a named owner. Anything not here waits.

Pass the export audit

The 18 November audit is the gate to the export contract. Batch records complete every day, hold points signed before release, and the mock audit on the 11th treated like the real one. Owner: Preethi.

Ramp the line to 60%

Hold the ramp curve without leaning on overtime. The daily defect huddle stays at 2pm, and any day under rate gets a cause on the board before shift end. Owner: Marco.

Fix Thursday dispatch

The extra truck starts week one. Pick order changes land Monday; if the crunch survives two Thursdays, we escalate to a second wave shift. Owner: Sam.

Cut over the warehouse ERP

Warehouse module goes live on the 10th. Count accuracy above 98% before cutover, floaters rostered for the first week, paper fallback printed and ready. Owner: Grace.

Keep the intake settled

Six starters in four weeks is a lot of new. Buddies check in weekly, leads clear time for questions, and the 30 day reviews happen on the day they are due. Owner: every lead.

09

Slide 9 · checklist · Five priorities for November, each with an owner, so priorities are commitments.

REMEMBER THIS

Export audit: 18 November

One date decides the export contract. Screenshot this.

1

Batch records complete before every shift ends, no catch ups.

2

Hold points signed before product moves, every time.

3

Calibration tags current on anything with a dial or a scale.

4

Visitors sign in, wear the right colour, stay with their host.

5

Unsure about a record? Ask Preethi before 11 November, not after.

10

Slide 10 · takeaway · The one card to screenshot: the export audit date and what it needs from everyone.

ASKED IN ADVANCE

Your turn.

Six questions from the box this month, then the floor is open.

01

PAY

Does the export contract change the bonus pool this year?

02

THE LINE

Will night shift be permanent once the line hits full rate?

03

ERP

When does the old timesheet system actually switch off?

04

PARKING

What happens to parking when the second shift starts?

05

PRODUCT

Are we keeping the resealable packs on the home brands too?

06

HIRING

Which roles open up when line 1 moves to export SKUs?

11

Slide 11 · qa · Six pre-submitted questions on the wall, then open floor. Nobody has to go first.

How to adapt this deck

A 20 person company collapses the agenda and the divider and runs the same beats in seven slides; the six numbers and the priorities with owners survive every scale. A remote all hands keeps the deck identical and leans harder on the advance question wall, because remote rooms surface fewer live hands. A quarterly cadence swaps the objectives progress bars for a full scorecard and doubles the deep dive, but monthly is the rhythm this format is built for: short enough that skipping one feels like missing something. Fennwood is the same fictional manufacturer as the company profile presentation on this site, so the external and internal views of one company can be read together. Whatever the cadence, keep the numbers on the same six metrics every time, because a company that learns one scorecard reads the next one in seconds rather than relearning the chart.

What makes this deck work

Six numbers, the same six, every month

Slide three is always revenue, on-time delivery, safety, new customers, NPS and weeks of cash: $4.1M, 96.2%, zero, 14, 61 and 38 this month. Repetition is the feature. Once the floor team knows the safety tile is always top right, the meeting stops being a reveal and starts being a scoreboard.

New starters get a full slide before the deep dive

Six people appear with a name, a role and one human fact, from homing pigeons to a fixed wrapper jam. Names before strategy is a cultural statement a template cannot fake, and putting the slide fourth, ahead of the deep dive, means it never gets cut when the meeting runs long.

It ends on one date and a question wall

The remember this card carries a single date, the 18 November export audit, with five lines of what it needs, and the closing wall shows six questions submitted in advance, from bonus pool to parking. Ending on the audience’s own words, not a thank you slide, is why the questions actually come.

Questions people ask

What goes in an all hands deck?

Numbers, progress, customers, people, one deep dive, priorities and questions. This example fixes those seven beats into eleven slides and repeats the order every month. The deep dive is the only section that changes shape, which is what keeps a recurring meeting from becoming a recurring blur.

How long should an all hands be?

Forty five minutes fits a monthly cadence: about twenty five for the recurring sections, ten for the deep dive and ten for questions. This deck is sized to exactly that split. Companies that run ninety minute monthlies usually discover half the content belonged in a team meeting.

Should we share revenue with the whole company?

This example does, along with cash runway in weeks, and pairs them with operational numbers every team can move. Sharing money numbers monthly builds trust and financial literacy; the caveat is consistency, because a metric that quietly disappears the month it turns bad teaches the opposite lesson.

How do I keep a monthly all hands from getting boring?

Keep the order fixed and rotate only the deep dive, the way this deck gives October to the new plant line. Customer quotes and new starters refresh themselves. The boredom risk is leadership improvising a new format each month; ritual plus one changing centrepiece outlasts novelty every time.

How do I collect questions in advance?

A standing anonymous form, closed the day before, with six questions making the wall. Showing the category labels, pay, parking, hiring, proves nothing was filtered for comfort. Answering the two spikiest ones first buys the floor questions that follow; this deck leaves the floor open after the wall.

Can I record the all hands from the deck?

Yes, on paid plans. Present mode records to a downloadable WebM at up to 4K with optional camera and microphone, so the night shift can watch the same meeting the day shift attended. Pause and resume are built in, which suits stopping the recording during open questions.
