Millbrook All Hands, October 2026
All hands meeting deck with the same order every month
Millbrook 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.
Every slide, in order
The whole deck as it renders, one slide after another. Read it the way the audience would.
The structure
What each slide is doing, so you can reuse the order even with different content.
- Slide 1cover
- Two words and a date. The cover never changes, which is how a monthly ritual should open.
- Slide 2agenda
- Six colored bars, the same six every month, so nobody reads ahead to find their part.
- Slide 3metrics
- The same six numbers every month, so a picker and a buyer both know where to look.
- Slide 4metrics
- The five quarterly objectives as progress bars, including the one that is behind.
- Slide 5testimonial
- Three customer voices from the month, names and businesses, not marketing pull quotes.
- Slide 6pillars
- The six people who started this month, each with a name, a role and one human fact.
- Slide 7divider
- The deep dive divider. The number changes monthly; the rhythm does not.
- Slide 8process
- The line in three phases with what changes for each team, which is what people actually ask.
- Slide 9checklist
- Five priorities for November, each with an owner, so priorities are commitments.
- Slide 10takeaway
- The one card to screenshot: the export audit date and what it needs from everyone.
- Slide 11qa
- 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. 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.

Reorganisation announcement presentation: why, what changes, when
A reorganisation announcement presentation has to tell every employee, in the first minutes, why the structure is changing, what it means for their job and pay, and when it happens, before rumours fill the gap. Selkirrin Group, an invented kitchen equipment maker, moves 1,140 staff into three business units on 1 October and says on one slide what does not change.
Annual strategy presentation: three bets, five measures
An annual strategy presentation has to prove to every manager that the year has a small number of priorities, each with an owner, a budget and a number that shows whether it is working. Selkirrin Group, an invented maker of commercial kitchen equipment, opens on what its 2026 plan missed, then commits $10.0M to three bets and a scoreboard of five measures.
Leadership offsite deck: agenda, pre-reads, decisions
A leadership offsite deck has to make sure everyone arrives knowing the questions, having read the material, and agreeing in advance what decisions the two days must produce. Restlark, an invented booking software company for physiotherapy and massage clinics, sends this deck a week ahead: three questions, six pre-reads totalling 26 pages, and four decisions due by Friday at 16:00.
