without further ado; getting right to the point; I know this is abrupt, but...
A set phrase used to transition directly to the main topic, often in business or when skipping pleasantries. It softens the abruptness by acknowledging it.
Without further ado, let's get down to business.
I know this is abrupt, but I'd like to discuss the schedule for next week's meeting.
From 早速 (さっそく, 'immediately') + ですが ('but it is'). The phrase literally means 'it is immediate, but...' and developed into a conventional way to jump into the main subject.
