Welcome to Doing Meetings Differently! Helen Garforth & Richard Usher Just Ideas
The next hour! • Introductions – who’s in the room? • So what is a meeting anyway? • Doing things differently • Making it visual • Walk and talk • Top tips • Ideas to take away
Making it visual • Rummage through the postcards to find an image that represents your experience of a great meeting! • Share your image and your story at your table • Stick the postcards on the paper to make a collage – add key words
Walk and talk • Follow us for a brief excursion into the garden • As you walk in pairs or threes share your stories of magnificent meetings! • After 10 minutes come back in to share your insights
While you’re sharing stories think about… What you can do to make a brilliant meeting: • Before • Beginning • During • Ending • Afterwards
Feedback • How was it for you? • Sharing some examples
Before… • Make it appealing • Use a range of media • Use images that reflect what’s going to happen • Offer a meeting ‘buddy’ • Think about the space
Beginning… • Welcoming • Introductions • Checking in • Share the purpose of the meeting and what to expect • You might need an ice breaker / warm-up activity
During… • A way for everyone to contribute • Mix it up to suit different styles • Dynamic decision making • Wear different hats • Space for the future • Refreshments!
Ending… • Check back in • Agree what happens next • Make sure everyone has a role • How was it for you? How could we do better next time?
Afterwards… • Keep people informed/updated • Get key messages out – social media • Thank and celebrate! • Get together and plan the next meeting!
