Managing meetings

'Managing Meetings' Making meetings productive

Introduction

Holding meetings is an increasingly expensive activity, hence the need to run meetings well. The aim and test of a well run meeting is that whatever the subject, people feel afterwards that it took care of their needs, as well as the items on the agenda.

Objectives

The role of the meeting facilitator.
Preparing effectively for a meeting.
Using a range of skills and techniques, including listening, summarising skills and facilitation.
Keeping the meeting on track/topic.
Developing a range of techniques for dealing with different meeting participants.
Learning points, outcomes and action plans.

Course Content

All too often time and effort is wasted by calling and attending meetings which are not well prepared, have no clear purpose and where attendees fail to participate in making decisions. This course aims to assist in dealing with those aspects that inhibit the effectiveness of meetings and emphasise the best practices that make meetings successful.
