- The Operating Cadence for Remote Companies
Mutiny found that going fully remote led to team isolation and poorer decisions due to lack of context and connection.

Having board meetings right after allows them to reduce board prep time. They translate quarterly goals into weekly goals to drive execution. The operating rhythm has helped them gain the benefits of remote work while overcoming the downsides of lost context and connection. An effective operating cadence centered around a drumbeat like an offsite can help any remote company.
