Making the most of meetings

make the most of meetings make the most of meetings

Meetings are a vital part of any business, and getting the content right can be tricky - add in the fact that many of us are now splitting work time between home and the office and planning becomes even more important. But it doesn’t need to be stressful - read our tips and get the most out of your meetings!

Get the point
What is the point? There needs to be a reason for the meeting and people need to know the objectives in advance. Make sure to send around an agenda a few days prior to give people the chance to do their homework first so they can interact.

Stand up!
Standing up makes people think creatively and stops meetings dragging on, and on, and on... And who says you can’t stand up during a Zoom/Teams meeting?

Give it some love
Noone wants to go to a meeting in a boring meeting room. By adding a few comforts and treats, your attendees are more likely to fully engage with you. Add some sit stools, bean bags, or for a quick session no chairs at all! Some fresh fruit and bowls of treats will make everyone smile and relax - and get with the program!

Grafitti artist
Use the wall as a giant scribble pad by adding a sheet of Legamaster roll or whiteboards - it’s the perfect way to brainstorm and put across ideas and comments. Visualising ideas through mind maps is ideal on large surfaces like this and will keep your team on board with your thought process.

Time’s up!
Set a time limit - and when the time is up, call it a day. You have lost your participants’ attention after about 45 minutes so anything longer is pointless. Meetings can often start with people from different departments catching up, so maybe consider meeting five minutes early to allow for a quick catchup, which doesn’t eat into your productive time.

Whether you need some drywipe markers, a new noticeboard or easel, or the all important biscuits for your meeting we can supply it all! Check out our products or get in touch to discuss what we can do for you!
