Meetings
Collaboration and dialogue are vital to the success of any organization, and well-planned meetings are instrumental in making it happen. Unfortunately, surveys indicate that most people report that meetings are not very productive.
Well-conceived and well-managed meetings – whether they be large or small, person-to-person, in a conference room or online – can be highly effective and successful if there is a clear strategy based on desired outcomes: the right people are invited; a strong agenda is developed; logistics are skillfully executed; and there is a timely follow-up.
