Smart Meetings

Why is it that so many people don’t like meetings? Why are there so many jokes about dreadful meetings, and so few stories about great ones?

Perhaps it’s because we have all experienced bad meetings ourselves.

But really, it’s not so hard to have a good, or even marvellous, meeting. All it takes is to conceive, design and run it well.

These are all skills that can be learnt. The hardest part of a truly effective meeting is to make sure that everyone who wants to gets a fair say.
