...Creating a Meeting Agenda Creating a Meeting Agenda The agenda is the key to a successful meeting - it is the roadmap, the guide, the plan. Studies have shown that up to 70% of meetings either have no agenda or have a poor agenda which is not helpful. In this article, you will see that there are some steps which you can take to make sure your agenda will contribute to making your meeting more productive. There are also hidden advantages. If the agenda is well constructed, you will also spend less time in the meeting and more time actually doing the things the meeting determines need to be done! 1. Remember the key - the more detailed the agenda, the more focussed and generally, the shorter the meeting will be. 2. You cannot expect intelligent decisions if people do not have time to think through the issues before the meeting. Therefore, agendas need to be sent out in advance, not given out at the meeting. People who have genuine desire to reach the best decision, and people who are organised, always have their agendas distributed in time for people to give thought to the issues. 3. Adopt the strict policy that if an item is not on the agenda, it will not be discussed at the meeting. Do not allow items to be raised without notice. Allow only true emergency items to be exempt and allow no other exceptions. Organised people have no difficulty with this. It is only disorganised or "slack" people who object to this because they cannot get...

...HUNTSVILLE NEW PLANT PROJECT AGENDA ESSAY As the Project manager I will be holding a status review meeting with the following topics in the agenda. Status reports, project schedule updates, identify possible solutions and risks, impact of risk to project objective, determine if any problems have been solved, and meeting minutes. Written communication would be through email and paper hard copies. Verbal communication would be utilized through face-to-face contact and via phone. Project managers need to take time to prepare for the meeting well in advance. The first thing on my list would be to send out a reminder email three days prior to meeting time and location along with a prepared agenda and outline of meeting topics to send via email to all team members. Ask all team members to bring their updates and concerns to meeting. Gather all paper work with special interest to this project and the latest updates and possible risks that have been identified. Prepare colored power point slides as visual aids for team members if possible. Visual aids help see the topics more clearly and keep the audience alert and provide more effective communication. It is also very important to start the project meeting on time. Team members need to become familiar with the start of meeting times and know that when they show late the project manager will not hold the meeting for them. As the meeting starts the project manager should make sure that everyone has an agenda...

...Learning Team Reflection -Week 4 Our learning group has been overall successful in conducting productive meetings and completing tasks in a timely manner and at the desired quality level. However, there are aspects that can be improved in order to make meetings run more smoothly. The success can be attributed to several factors. One of the most important factors leading to successful meetings is setting clear goals and an agenda before the actual meeting. Being that all group members have demanding jobs and families to attend to, we have been able to avoid wasting time meeting for things that can be done via email or over the group discussion forum. Instead, we have identified the tasks that require of all the team members’ presence and set up face-to-face meetings to discuss only those things. Moreover, the group has created an atmosphere of trust in which all members feel comfortable expressing their ideas freely. Group discussion, active listening and constructive criticism are encouraged. Finally, we have been able to compromise and make group decisions that leave everyone satisfied. The learning group could improve success in conducting meetings and performing group tasks/projects by focusing on staying on topic. Instead of socializing during the meeting, team members could be rewarded with socialization time once the team goals have been met. At the same time, team members could contribute to time management by adequately preparing and gathering all...
