The CEO’s System Planning Guide for Q2

Q1 is often about setting things in motion. Q2 is where traction happens or where chaos creeps in.

If you’re leading a growing business, now’s the time to tighten your systems, not just chase more goals. Here's how to prepare your operations to support consistent momentum through Q2.

Audit What’s Working—and What’s Getting in the Way

Don’t wait until mid-year to realise something's off. Take stock of where your systems helped you move faster in Q1 and where things slipped through the cracks. Whether it’s your client onboarding process, internal comms, or how tasks are delegated, every bottleneck has a cost.

Realign Your Team's Capacity and Tools

As offers shift and new priorities emerge, your team setup should evolve with it. Are the right people focused on the right tasks? Are they supported by clear SOPs or still figuring things out as they go? Realignment doesn’t always mean hiring; it could mean better workflows or simplifying your project management tools.

Revisit Your Recurring Processes

From monthly reports to content planning or renewals, now is a good time to check whether your recurring tasks are as efficient as they could be. Eliminate unnecessary steps. Automate what you can. And if you're still manually following up on everything, it’s time to fix that.

Prep Your Backend for Growth

If you’re planning new launches, collaborations, or offers in Q2, get the backend ready now. That means building the assets, cleaning up client folders, syncing your calendar with delivery timelines, and ensuring your CRM or delivery platform can handle the scale.
