15Five Helps CEOs Stay In The Loop, Leaves Beta Testing

When it comes to helping CEOs and other executives stay on top of the big issues at their company, a startup called 15Five?has taken inspiration from Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard. Even though Chouinard is supposedly out of the office on outdoor adventures for several months of the year, he developed "5-15 reports"?(weekly employee memos that should take no more than 15 minutes to write and five minutes to read) to stay up-to-date. That idea has been adopted at other companies, but 15Five CEO David Hassell ?wants to make it even more widespread, by turning the 5-15 idea into a simple product for submitting, reading, and acting on weekly reports. 15Five demonstrated at the Launch conference earlier this year, and today it's coming out of beta testing.
