What to Expect at a G90 Summit

By Kevin Brent · 4 March 2026

You know you should be planning quarterly. You have read about rocks, Critical Numbers and 90-day cycles. But sitting down and actually doing it — on your own, from scratch — feels like a lot.

That is exactly what the G90 Summit is for.

What Is the G90 Summit?

The G90 Summit is a half-day virtual workshop (09:00 to 13:00 via Zoom) designed to walk you through a complete quarterly planning session. It is facilitated by Kevin Brent, creator of the Entrepreneurial ScaleUp System and founder of Smart90.

You join a small group of business leaders — owners, MDs, founders and senior leaders — who are all at the same stage: ready to plan their next 90 days properly.

What Happens During the Morning

The session follows a structured format drawn from 13 years of running quarterly planning with businesses across the UK:

Review (60 minutes)

If this is not your first summit, you start by reviewing the last 90 days. What was your Critical Number? Did you hit it? Which rocks did you complete? What got in the way? The Stop, Start, Continue exercise helps you extract lessons before planning the next quarter.

If this is your first time, you will use this slot to complete an InFlight Check — a diagnostic across the four pillars (Strategy, People, Execution, Cash) that identifies where your business has gaps.

Plan (90 minutes)

This is the core of the session:

1. Set your Critical Number — the one metric that will define success for the next quarter
2. Define your business priorities — 5 to 7 initiatives that will drive the Critical Number
3. Create your Theme — a memorable rallying point for the quarter
4. Set your individual rocks — 3 to 5 personal priorities, each linked to a business priority
5. Write SMART actions — specific, measurable steps with clear deadlines

You work on your own plan, with guidance and challenge from Kevin and the group. By the end of this section, your plan is complete — not a rough outline, but a detailed execution plan ready to go.

Commit (30 minutes)

Each person shares their rocks and Critical Number with the group. Public commitment increases follow-through significantly — research suggests 77% higher achievement rates when you combine written goals with accountability.

You also set up your weekly rhythm: when your Smart7 meeting will run, how you will do daily check-ins, and when the next summit is.

Who It Is For

The G90 Summit works for:

• Business owners and MDs who want a structured quarterly planning process
• Leadership teams who attend together to align their priorities
• First-timers who have never done formal quarterly planning before
• Experienced planners who want the accountability and structure of a facilitated session
• Coaches who want to experience the process before recommending it to clients

What You Leave With

• A defined Critical Number for the quarter
• 5 to 7 clear business priorities
• Individual rocks with SMART actions
• An InFlight Check baseline (first-timers)
• A weekly meeting rhythm agreed and diarised
• Peer connections with other business leaders on the same journey

When Is the Next One?

G90 Summits run quarterly — aligned with the 90-day planning cycle so you always start the quarter with a clear plan. The next dates are:

• 26 March 2026
• 26 June 2026
• 25 September 2026
