Effective business meetings - how to plan and conduct themBusiness meetings are generally met with rolling eyes and deep sighs of imminent boredom.Many business people see the business meeting as an evil but driving force of the company.Terms such as boring, long, unproductive, repetitive and annoying are often associated with business meetings.But it doesn't have to be this way.With a little training and some determination to follow these simple suggestions, your next business meeting can be a success! Planning - PLAN AHEAD! - Do you even need the meeting - If some issue can be solved among a few people, do it!You should in no way feel obligated to involve the whole group when one or two people can resolve the issues.
- Who needs to attend (keep it small and specific) - Only those directly involved with the issues that need to be discussed should be at the meeting.It is proven that smaller groups get more done.Having too many people at your business meeting will only make coming to a consensus that much more difficult.If you need to, only invite certain people to certain parts of the meeting that apply to them and then excuse them when discussion on that topic is finished. Conducting - STICK TO THE AGENDA! - Start at the assigned time (do not fill in the late comers) - When you tell people that a meeting is going to start at a specific time, start at that specific time!You need not plan for lat comers as they have not shown you the courtesy of planning to be on time for your meeting.Filling late comers in on the details that they missed wastes time and is simply not necessary.Trust me, next time they will know that you mean business when you say when a meeting starts.
