A guide to hosting effective meetingsfrom Nobo, your visual communications expert
Meetings are useful tools for business development, and when properly conducted they can lead to close collaboration and teamwork. However, organising a successful meeting takes time and planning.
Use PAL (Purpose, Agenda, Limit) to ensure you get the most out of any meeting.
Purpose Ensure that there is both a reason for the meeting and a definite outcome, whether it is simply to ‘ensure everyone has the same level of understanding about a subject’ or a ‘decision to move forward with a project’
Questions to help you define your ‘purpose’
• Have you clearly defined why you are meeting?• What is your desired outcome from
the meeting?• How will you know if you have achieved it?• Where, how and with whom do you
want this meeting?• How can this meeting satisfy the needs
of everyone attending?• What will improve and what could get
worse as a result of this meeting?
Agenda
Ensure the agenda matches the purpose of your meeting. This will determine the attendance list, any preparation required by participants prior to the meeting, and will ensure that the correct information can be circulated before the meeting by the necessary parties.
Questions to help you define your ‘agenda’
• Have you put first things first?• Which agenda items will deliver the desired
outcome of the meeting? PUT THESE FIRST
Limit Set a time, place and ensure the correct resources (IT, audio visual & presentation equipment, refreshments, writing materials – pens, flipcharts, whiteboards, notebooks etc.) are available for the duration of the meeting. If the meeting is going to over-run, then make sure everybody agrees to this. Always aim to finish early but ensure the purpose is truly met before calling a stop to the meeting.
Questions to help you define your ‘limit’
• Have you clearly defined how long the meeting will last?
• Do you start on time?• Do you finish on time?
Hints and Tips Don’t forget to...• Ensure sure all of your IT and audio visual equipment is in full working order before participants arrive• Select a person to capture and summarise points made• Stay focused on the objectives of the meeting• At the end of the meeting clarify what has transpired and what the next steps are
After the event...• Send participants a summary of the meeting notes/ key decisions made at the meeting,
including the date and time of any future meetings
Choosing the right equipment!Creating the correct environment and using the best equipment and accessories is also vital
to the success of any meeting and to give the correct impression to clients & visitors.
Nobo offers a complete solution approach to meetings, with handy ‘How to Choose’ guides on key ranges, to help you make the right choice for you needs.
