Operating model: operating rhythm

To ensure interactions with DMGT are productive and predictable, an operating rhythm of informal catch ups and more formal updates has been developed. The rhythm is designed to give Operating Company CEOs and CFOs more visibility of DMGT processes and guidance to when proposals should be submitted.

CEO 1:1 catch ups

DMGT Board and Committees:

  • Regular conversations between DMGT CEO and Operating Company CEOs.
