A New Approach to Accelerate Meeting Results

Presentation Summary

Successful meetings accelerate results. Unsuccessful meetings waste everybody’s time. Too many meetings lack structure and engaged participation, resulting in minimal buy-in, vague plans, and slim ROI. Often, virtual and introverted participants miss opportunities to share their ideas, undermining morale and diversity of input. This interactive session will provide participants a new way of designing and facilitating meetings that will guarantee results. Participants will take part in a simulated meeting environment, experiencing the power of enhanced meeting efficiency and substantial time saving for the facilitator.
