More efficient, effective and energetic meetings
Meetings use up a lot of our working time yet hardly anyone is properly trained in presenting or hosting a meeting. However it is one of the most impactful means in the communications structure. Meetings are not always efficient, effective nor energetic. Practice shows that many meetings have an unclear goal, haven’t had a proper preparation, action items are not completed, interaction is limited and output is not communicated to relevant players within the organization.
The Involve team meeting quick scan showed that team leaders rate the team meeting a seven on average, but did recognize all aspects to be improved mentioned above. In addition over half of them expressed the need for support in carrying out a good team meeting.
Format and content
Involve has developed a meeting organizer that supports organizations in improving team meetings in a targeted way to improve efficiency (in time and money), effectively (goal and content) and energy (motivation and interaction). The organizer provides supports from evaluation and analysis to setting action items (regulation) and (implementing) recommendations. In addition we assist in connecting team meetings with the current meetings and communications structure.
The meeting organizer comes in the following versions:
- Quick starter to improve your team meeting (free download in Dutch)
- Meeting quick scan (light version)
- Meeting scan (extended version)
- Meeting structuring
Meeting quick scan (light version)
We analyze your team meeting by conducting interviews, an evaluation amongst the participants, a questionnaire and an audit. This results in a report with specific recommendations for improving your team meeting.
Meeting scan (extended version)
This scan entails the complete meeting scan and analysis, including drawing up a recommendations plan and evaluation. In addition we can facilitate in regulating the meeting and offer coaching on the job.
Meeting structuring
We assess the complete meeting and communications structure to connect with other meetings and means of communications. Wherever desired we deploy the improvement plan implementation.
Tailored approach or immediate advice
Each approach bears specific wishes and requirements in mind. Therefore the Involve approach is always tailor made. For more information: Ilse van Ravenstein.
