PRODUCTIVE
MEETINGS
I once heard a great quote from the HEAD OF IT who worked for
one of the top 5 banks within the UK.....
"Sean, this place is the easiest place to get a meeting but
the hardest place to get a decision"
I thought this was an awesome quote and how right he was!
How many of your working hours are just wasted in unproductive,
mind-numbing and meaningless meetings where the issues just
go
round and round with no-one wanting to take ownership?
I know for a fact that most of the meetings I used to attend
were a complete waste of time and I bet it's the same for you
as well.
Well, that particular HEAD OF IT did something about it and
he
employed us to develop a training programme that covered how
to run and chair meetings more effectively and also how to
facilitate workshops and planning days.
We rolled out a 2 day course to all of his managers and 6 months
later he rang me up to say that we had helped him to reduce
the amount of hours that his managers had spent in meetings
by
350%! We knew this ourselves because we put measurements in
place to determine the effectiveness of all of our courses!
A great success story and now I'd like to help you with your
meetings!
Here is a 46 page workbook that will help you to make your
meetings more productive and will help you to facilitate your
meetings and workshops with greater control.
