Our Tips for better Meetings
-
ToDos need accountability to become Dones
Before the meeting ends, ensure that every identified follow-up is owned by a meeting attendee. Plan for the time this takes when preparing the meeting.
-
Easily awaken Collaboration and Participation with a Virtual Whiteboard
Use a virtual whiteboard to visualize important parts of the conversation and allow attendees to participate in the conversation asynchronously.
-
Write an agenda that flows like a great book
When creating an agenda, think of each item as a step in a narrative that will culminate in achieving the intent of the meeting.
-
Summarize decisions you made to shift mindsets to successful execution
Don’t end the meeting without stating the decisions that were made. This will change mindsets from discussing to executing.
-
Write the intent of the meeting in one sentence
