Your first week as a CEO can feel like drinking from a firehose: new faces, unfamiliar systems, and urgent decisions flying in from all directions. But when you’re onboarded through Kodah’s ClickUp Activation and CEO Onboarding Program, that chaos turns into clarity. The transition isn’t just smooth — it’s revelatory. Here’s how Kodah gets South African leaders from onboarding newbie to workflow hero in a single week.
Day 1: Setting Up for Success
Every CEO begins with a strategic briefing and a custom ClickUp workspace designed around their organisation’s goals, structure, and culture.
A one-on-one session clarifies short-term ambitions, urgent challenges, and key deliverables for the first month. This ensures you only see what actually matters — without distractions or digital clutter.
Tasks, meetings, and goals are mapped into ClickUp’s Onboarding Calendar, giving a crystal-clear bird’s-eye view of your transition plan from Day One.
Days 2–3: Culture, Connection, and Clarity
Kodah’s ClickUp CEO Onboarding Template guides new leaders through welcome sessions, stakeholder introductions, and key team meet-and-greets.
From reviewing legacy projects to aligning with department heads, Kodah automates scheduling, reminders, and task tracking — ensuring no priority slips.
All critical documents, dashboards, and company policies are neatly stored in custom views, so you find what you need instantly — no scavenger hunt required.
Day 4: Defining Goals That Matter
Kodah translates your strategic vision into ClickUp Goals — measurable, trackable, and tied to real outcomes.
Whether it’s revitalising company culture or launching a new initiative, Kodah breaks your big objectives into manageable action items with recurring tasks and automated check-ins.
KPI dashboards provide live feedback, keeping your most important objectives always within view — and keeping you accountable for your own ambitions.
Day 5: Automate, Optimise, Accelerate
Kodah’s onboarding goes beyond comfort — it’s about building capacity and foresight.
Automations now handle routine follow-ups, client communications, and reports. Your workflow updates itself, freeing your attention for high-impact decisions.
Kodah’s specialists walk you through your new CEO Dashboard, showing how to adjust views, filter data, and measure progress, engagement, and risk in real time.
End of Week One: From Zero to Hero
By the fifth day, you’re no longer “the new CEO.” You’re the leader your team has been waiting for:
✅ Operating in a workspace designed for your leadership style.
✅ Tracking every metric, milestone, and moment of progress.
✅ Making informed decisions without admin fatigue.
✅ Supported by Kodah’s ongoing optimisation team.
The result? A first week filled not with chaos, but with clarity, control, and momentum.
