MEETING MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES
BACKGROUND:
Conducting and effective meeting is an art that requires training and knowledge not only in human nature but in human physiology. In the past, meetings were held to further the business effort. It seems
today that the business effort is to hold meetings. Statistics from
Meeting Planners International tell us that there are eleven million
meetings held every day. It therefore behooves us to take a look at how
we are conducting these meetings and what benefits government and
industry are deriving from them. This program is designed to provide the
attendee with the tools necessary to design, conduct, and evaluate a
variety of meeting formats.
DESIGNED FOR:
This program is designed for all levels of personnel who have primary or
secondary responsibility for preparing for meetings, physical meeting set up, and conducting meetings.
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of this program are threefold:
- The first is to acquaint the participant with the physical aspects of
the meeting environment. (seating, lighting, sound, audio-visual, projector, coffee breaks, site selection,
etc.).
- The second is to instill in them the ability to physically manage the
meeting. (i.e., set up schedules, lead discussions, facilitate group
dynamics, understand problem solving techniques, setting agenda.)
- The third is to give the meeting manager comprehensive tools for
meeting evaluation. (personal evaluation checklists, speaker
evaluation checklists, and comprehensive meeting evaluation
checklists.)
DELIVERY METHODOLOGY:
This program is presented through lecture, individual exercises, case
studies, role playing, and group discussions.

- Site Selection and Facility Review
