Reunión en 25 Minutos

The same weekly coordination meeting, run five Mondays in a row (1 February - 1 March 2027): the learner is the new operations manager of a fictional Zaragoza food distributor who inherits a Monday meeting of fourteen people, eighty minutes and almost no decisions, and redesigns it block by block.

Block 1 (design, from meeting 2): the agenda (the usual round-the-table of area updates, no agenda, or an agenda made of questions to decide with owner, decider and minutes, news moved to a written Friday note), who attends (the same fourteen, seven regulars plus per-item guests, or only four directors), and the pre-read (nothing, a 30-slide deck on Sunday night, or one page per decision on Friday).

Block 2 (running it, from meeting 3): the time (open-ended, a hard 25 minutes with minutes per item, or 90 minutes booked), the floor (let it flow while the sales director talks and the night-shift lead stays silent, tell him in front of everyone he talks too much, or a structured round that starts with whoever has spoken least), and the decision rule (everyone must agree, one named decider per item with disagree-and-commit, or the general manager decides everything at the end).

Block 3 (close and follow up, from meeting 4): recording (everyone takes notes, four-page minutes on Thursday, or a decision log on screen in the last three minutes), the opening (area news, a three-minute review of last week decision log, or reading overdue tasks out by name and sending the list up), and a warehouse proposal to change forklift traffic in a loading dock (park it, decide it now, or approve in principle and consult the prevention delegate before applying it, as Spanish occupational-risk law requires).

Block 4 (make it hold, meeting 5): a request to add four observers (accept, send them the decision log instead, or refuse flatly), the general manager wanting to reopen a closed decision (reopen it, confront her in front of everyone, or ten minutes in private asking for new information), and how to check the meeting (nothing, a two-minute anonymous check at every close, or a 30-question survey).

The model is deterministic: each meeting spends its minutes on updates and items, decides a share of what it discusses, and a share of what it decides is carried out within the week; undone decisions return to the backlog.

The score combines the quality of each choice with decisions executed, person-hours, open items, participation and a respect index, and is capped when someone is corrected or exposed in public (falling with the number of witnesses) or a safety change is decided without the legally required consultation. Spanish (primary, Spain) and English.
