Better Meetings

Our programs are research-based, results-driven, people-friendly

Duration    2 days

What the ‘Better Meetings’ workshop is about?

Meetings play a big part in organisational life – but poor meetings lead to poor outcomes and wasted time when time is at a premium. This workshop introduces simple but powerful tools for making meetings twice as productive in half the time. 

Objectives

At the end of the workshop, delegates will be able to use key steps to prepare for and manage a meeting. They will be able to identify multiple agendas and map topic development. Delegates will have experienced using the tools in several practice meetings. They will have analysed the initial real meeting and have planned, engaged in and reviewed a repeat of that meeting. Delegates will develop their own action plans for the ‘extra mile’ times (see below) when they will be applying the skills and demonstrating measurable changes in meeting efficiency and effectiveness. 

Key topics covered

  • The 4 D’s
  • Managing multiple agendas
  • The Concept of ‘Face’
  • Topic and Meeting Mapping

Who would benefit?

Managers and supervisors who are involved in meetings, particularly those who need to manage projects and teams through regular and structured meetings. This workshop would be invaluable in your organisation if you are implementing quality systems or ‘lean’ processes or undertaking systemic change.

The Extra Mile

Our aim is to combine sound research and practical experience with application in your organisation to ensure that the learning is transferred to real situations and used by the participants. Our facilitators will follow up with your delegates at agreed times after the workshop to support, encourage and measure their skill development and application

This workshop is available onsite in your organisation or offsite at a venue of your choice. Typical numbers for this workshop are 5 to 20 delegates. You choose the date and the venue, and the extra mile times. We customize the workshop to suit your organisation and agree on performance measures with you.

People-friendly: the approach challenges and engages the participants – and provides opportunities for lively debate .
