Effective meetings

Effective meetings: Become specialists in the good meeting

Many studies show that employees find that they waste time on regular meetings every week. Is this an issue you recognize from your own company? Fortunately, you can do a lot to hold more effective meetings. A concrete approach that companies should consider in order to strengthen their meeting culture is to move meetings out of the familiar framework.

New environments stimulate new thoughts and engage participants in a way that the office cannot. Do away with a meeting culture where employees attend meeting after meeting in the same meeting rooms. Meetings lose meaning and power when they can barely be separated from each other.

Below you can learn much more about the methods that create an effective meeting culture, but also the good workshop that produces results.

All about meetings that create results

An effective meeting culture saves money

Avoid wasting a lot of time, and thus money, on bad meeting culture. Schedule all meetings so that there is a clear purpose to it and carefully consider who to convene.

Know your meeting type and find a purpose

A meeting with an unclear purpose does not lead to anything constructive. Get to know your type of meeting and use it to more easily find the purpose of the meeting.

Idea generation that works

An effective brainstorm is not about being fast. Feel free to break the task down into smaller chunks and start the process with two minutes of silence, where each participant writes down ideas.

Get better at holding meetings

The key to better meetings is to hold active meetings, with a clear purpose. Also remember that the meeting only has value if decisions and agreements are followed up after the meeting.
