Meetings are the tax you pay to do the work you want to do.
When teams try to collaborate on a project, it often starts well, but it quickly dissolves into chaos and inaction and the only outcome of each meeting is ‘let’s have another meeting’. Bad times.
Jonathan Courtney at AJ&Smart calls this ‘Collaboration Chaos,’ and we’ve all been there – the endless cycle of ineffective meetings.
Problems include:
No clear objectives
Lack of good process
Ineffective or non-existent facilitation
No actionable outcomes
It’s my mission to make meetings more efficient, more productive and more fun And, ideally for there to be fewer of them.
I can help in two ways:
I can coach your people on good facilitation – either by facilitating a single meeting or workshop, joining your team for a project, or joining your organisation on a contract basis to instil a culture of better meetings.
I run a course called The Meetings Revolution, which teaches teams how to have fewer but more productive meetings.
