Course OutlineActive Image

Meetings were once defined as a place where 'Minutes were taken and Hours were lost'. Meetings are a key tool in the successful management of business activities. 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 Effective Meetings training course aims to assist in dealing with those aspects which inhibit the effectiveness of meetings and emphasise the best practices which make meetings successful.

In this highly interactive workshop, participants practice the necessary skills of how to effectively prepare, manage, facilitate and actively participate in meetings. Participants learn to improve the productivity of meetings by translating management and behavioural science concepts into practical steps.
