Meetings are the very essence of all modern organisations. They are where stakeholders are assembled, reports presented, proposals assessed, strategies developed, tactics deployed, roles played out, decisions taken and importantly for participants, where reputations and careers are made.
Yet how many of us really prepare properly for meetings? We get over-encumbered with paper, fail to define the nature of the meeting or clarify what we want from it let alone the other attendees. Our hard worked briefs or reports get sidetracked or lost. The senior decision makers don't get the advice they need or want.
This new workshop, developed by experienced senior managers, seeks to tackle these issues and give practitioners some real frameworks, tactics and checklists to be more effective at the ubiquitous meeting.
Key issues for discussion in this workshop include:
Organisations and meetings
Types of meetings
Roles of meetings
Organising meetings
Attending meetings
Stakeholders at meetings: selections and interaction
Preparation
Meetings in action
Evaluation
Methodology
This workshops is highly interactive in design and uses a number of relevant case studies, 'hypothetical' processes and group dynamic action techniques to promote real work related skill development for practitioners. Special guest speakers from senior management will enhance relevance of issues discussed.
