Course Description
MANAGE EFFECTIVE MEETINGS
The effectiveness of business meetings can be blunted by irrelevancy, territorial disputes, and even personal animosities – all because there is no coherent thinking behind their assembly and supervision.
Yet, managed properly, the routine meeting can be a hugely dynamic and efficient platform for setting corporate objectives, agreeing strategies, reviewing progress on key projects, and prioritising the allocation of resources.

Challenged! The course was made very relevant to our day to day work. I thought it was going to be just another training course, but it was absolutely effective.

I found the managing meetings section most useful as it drives all other aspects of effective meetings e.g. preparation.
AnonymousThe course focussed structure on the many factors to be considered and included pre/during /post meeting. I found the managing meetings section most useful as it drives all other aspects of effective meetings e.g. preparation. I think it’s important for as many as possible of my colleagues if not all to understand the purpose, structure and conduct to be observed in order to have effective meetings. Anonymous
