Effectively Managing Business Meetings
The case addresses:
What strategies would you employ to improve the usefulness of business meetings? Incorporate two or more of the strategic considerations (Should we meet, Who should attend, Premeeting Arrangements, Leadership Style, Decision-Making Format, Follow-Up).
This solution includes "preparation" of a meeting, such as ensuring participants have the information they need prior to the meeting. An agenda will provide the foundation to keep the meeting "on track" and running effectively. There should also be a moderator or "lead" that is charged with keeping the discussing moving; and prohibits discussions which turn combative or verge off topic.
