Description

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• consciously ask themselves whether a meeting is necessary/optimal to achieve their objective and therefore worth the time investment (of x number of people);
• limit the time spent in meetings to what is necessary;
• improve the quality of the meetings in which they participate;
• have a structured agenda that is shared in advance with all participants, and that indicates the proposer, the goal/expected result, the working method, and a project timing estimate;
• increase involvement in the meeting by opening up the agenda to the participants so that they can bring in their own agenda items;
  tackle each agenda item according to the CORPI model;
• realize that the effectiveness of a meeting depends on careful and timely preparation before the meeting, efficiency during the meeting itself, and clear (+accepted) agreements on the follow-up after the meeting;
• have gained experience with decision-making techniques: consensus, majority decision making and other useful tools to increase the quality and effectiveness of meetings
