Mid-Year Check-In & Vision Reset: A Roadmap for H2 Success

Reaching the halfway point of the year is more than a milestone; it is a chance to pause, reflect, and recalibrate. Without a structured mid-year review and vision reset, even the best plans can drift off course. 

I’m also thrilled to share that I’m now a Scaling Up Certified Coach. With this certification, I can bring advanced strategic planning tools, business operating systems, and cash-management frameworks directly into our mid-year check-in process. Together, we will accelerate your H2 success by: 

  • Implementing a One-Page Strategic Plan for clear priorities 

  • Setting quarterly Priorities to keep the team accountable 

  • Tracking KPIs on a real-time scoreboard for data-driven decisions 

  • Applying cash-conversion tactics to extend runway and fund growth 

Pivoting with Precision 

A key outcome of a mid-year check-in is the ability to pivot with precision. Rather than making reactive changes, you revisit your data, realign your team around updated goals, and adjust your resource allocation only where it delivers the greatest impact. Precision pivots minimize disruption, protect core operations, and accelerate progress on your most critical initiatives. 

When Review Is Overlooked 

Skipping a mid-year review leaves you vulnerable to unnoticed drifts in performance. Goals set in Q1 may no longer reflect market realities or internal capacity. When review is overlooked, inefficiencies compound, cash reserves become strained, and team alignment fades. A timely check-in prevents small misalignments from turning into major setbacks. 

5 Key Steps for Your Mid-Year Check-In 

  1. Review Your H1 Metrics (Q1 + Q2) 
    Compare revenue, profit margins, customer retention, and cash runway against your original targets. Pinpoint areas of strength and spots that need course correction. 
     

  2. Realign Around a Refreshed Vision 
    Assemble your leadership team to confirm or refine your one-page strategic plan, and specifically your critical numbers and brand promises in pursuit of your 10-year target. Make sure every goal links back to your core values and long-term objectives. 
     

  3. Set 90-Day Priorities for Each Scaling Up Quadrant 
    Divide H2 into manageable 90-day sprints for your key needs in Strategy, People, Execution, and Cash. Assign clear owners, deadlines, and success measures for each focus area. 
     

  4. Update Your Risk and Contingency Plans 
    Reevaluate key risks such as cash burn, supply chain shifts, and talent gaps. Build or refresh contingency buffers to protect your critical initiatives. 
     

  5. Embed Accountability Rhythms 
    Schedule weekly check-ins to track progress. Use transparent scorecards and regular team huddles to surface obstacles early and acknowledge small wins.
