Business Meetings

What is a good team meeting? Preparation, process, follow-up

First of all we should think about what is a meeting and what kind of meeting we would like to have. Meetings are for companies and enterprises the time in which all the members of a team, or the participants of a project meet up all together and share their ideas about how to improve what they are doing. Sharing ideas, giving feedbacks and listen other people's opinion help the participants of a project to improve their work. Listening a feedback from others is always a good confirmation about our job or an alarm bell if we are following the wrong path. For an efficient and productive meeting first of all we have to be sure that there are contents and discussions that deserve to be faced in the meeting. It is useless and unproductive to organize meetings without anything to talk about. Every meeting has a cost in time terms. It is usefull to think and organize the points to discuss during the meeting before the beginning of the meeting. A very good strategy for organize a good meeting is to fix the meeting goals before and plan the discussion that will happen during the meeting. A guideline of the main points should be drawn up. In this way the time consumption will be optimized. The goals of the meeting should be clear to all the participants before the meeting take place, in this way all the participants will have the time to get ready to face up and discuss the topics. Meetings are time-consumption. This mean that time used for meeting is time subtracted to work. It is necessary to be sure that all the participants will be present at the meeting on time. Planning the day is very important for workers, so it is very useful to schedule the begin and the end of the meeting. Meeting are the perfect place in which the participants of a project can coordinate their activity. During meeting all the project members will update others about their intake and the progress of their work.
