rewrite for fluency and clarity: John, Being prior Navy and extensively using checklist when performing aircraft armament systems checks and loading weapons on the F/A-18 Hornet, I can appreciate the Terminology in your post. The "all-hands-on deck" meeting is a term borrowed from the US Navy, which refers to a situation where all crew members, regardless of their rank or job, must go on deck to help navigate the ship. In a business context, it means involving everyone in the company, regardless of their position or department, in a meeting to discuss important matters. This approach ensures that everyone is on the same page and understands their roles and responsibilities in the project or issue at hand. The use of a checklist in these meetings can be very beneficial. A checklist can serve as a guide to ensure that all necessary topics are covered and that everyone understands their tasks. It can also be used as a tool for tracking progress and ensuring accountability. By using this approach, you can create a sense of urgency, ensure everyone understands their role, and promote effective communication across the organization
