Increasing Meeting Productivity

Much angst exists about corporate and volunteer meetings.  Many regularly recurring meetings need to be reexamined for purpose, content, impact and ongoing relevance. 

A rudimentary primer for enhancing meeting productivity might include requiring participants to adhere to the following requirements:

• pre-meeting review of materials
• engaging brain, eyes and ears
• sharing relevant knowledge and experience
• generating productive ideas
• full engagement/undivided attention (electronic devices pocketed/pursed)
• positive/productive/helpful attitude
