Effective Meetings

A two-day in-house workshop designed to teach the skills of effective meetings facilitation and participation.

According to a recent study by Australian academics 90% of most chief executives working days are occupied by meetings. Lower ranked managers studied spent between 35% and 70% of their time at meetings. Most meetings were found to be time wasting and ineffective because their purpose was not clearly identified, the participants were not sure where they were heading and they were not properly facilitated.

Benefits of our Effective Meetings training include:

• savings in time
• more effective decision making
• alignment on purpose
• full participation
• improved co-operation
• improved quality of communication
• less frustration
• greater energy and enthusiasm

Programme content includes:

• establishing a clear purpose
• gaining full participation
• managing discussion
• gaining agreement to proposals
• models of decision making
• handling interruptions and dominating people
• getting the most out of meetings you attend
• recording and managing decisions
• managing time
• interrupting frustrating behavior
• handling challenges to the facilitator and challenges between participants
• working through conflict

Even a 10% saving in time spent in meetings and a 10% improvement in the effectiveness of decision making will have a compounding effect on the performance of your people and the profitability of your business. The simple reason being that people will have more time and energy to action and monitor the better decisions that are made. The programme can be designed to meet the specific needs of your organisation.
