Stop Planning From a Blank Page
August 11th, 2026, from 1:00–1:30 pm ET
Why most Annual Planning sessions start in the wrong place
Most teams walk into Annual Planning with a blank whiteboard and good intentions — then spend the first hour just trying to remember what happened this year. Nobody pulled the market data. Nobody checked how the Winning Moves actually performed. The ideas that should've been collected weeks ago show up as first-time debates in the room.
That's not a planning problem. It's a prep problem.
In 30 minutes, we'll show you how to use Rhythm's AI Connector to walk into Annual Planning already knowing where the gaps are — so the session becomes a decision meeting instead of a discovery meeting.
This session is for you if:
- You're heading into Annual Planning in the next few months and want to walk in prepared, not reactive
- You've sat through planning sessions that spent too much time re-explaining "where we are" instead of deciding "where we're going"
- You want your team contributing ideas and insight before the session, not just during it
- You're curious what the AI Connector can actually do beyond status updates and goal creation
What you'll walk away with
This isn't a product tour. It's a practical walkthrough of how to use the AI Connector to get ahead of your next Annual Planning session. Here's what we'll cover:
1. Evaluate Your Strategy Against Market Insights
See how to point the AI Connector at your current strategy and current market conditions at the same time — surfacing the gaps and open questions your team needs to work through, before planning day.
2. Assess Your Winning Moves Going Into the New Year
Get a clear, evidence-based read on how each Winning Move actually performed — using linked goals and execution history, not gut feel — so you know what to keep, kill, or reshape for next year.
3. Turn Insights Into the Right Meeting Agenda
We'll show you how to take what you've learned and immediately set the meeting agenda your team needs leading into planning, so no time in the room is wasted.
4. Build Your Pre-Planning Checklist
Leave with a clear list of what to do right now: getting your team's ideas onto an idea board, pulling together budget information, and gathering the market data you'll want on hand when planning starts.
