More effective meetings - how to organise, run and participate in meetings that matter
It is estimated that the average manager will spend around 17 hours each week in a meeting while around 70 million boardroom meetings are held every day around the world.
Meetings that don’t have a purpose or achievable outcome are, undoubtedly a complete waste of time. Those that don’t have structure or focus are equally wasteful and those seen as simply a collection of talking heads with no visible signs of efficient leadership are not even worth the time allocated
This workshop considers the key ingredients to organising, running and participating in effective meetings. It will answer the question - why do some meetings;
• Produce negative response / experience
• Waste valuable time
• Lower morale
• Create more problems than solve
• Divert attention away from important issues
Course format:
Using a mixture of lively interactive discussion and skill / technique instruction, with no embarrassing role play, the workshop will provide delegates with a structure for achieving a quantifiable outcome for all meetings.
