The Problem – Why bad meetings occur?
Literature for having successful meetings has been widely disseminated and in abundance for over 30 years.
So what is the problem ... Why aren’t there better meetings?
The reason is simply that planning and running effective meetings is a very difficult “facilitation” task.
Moreover, while most meeting leaders have been trained on “content” or what makes for a successful meeting ...
few have been trained on the “process” or how to really have one.
As a sign of the time: job descriptions in almost every field specify "excellent communication skills" as a
requirement, but only recently have they started to required "excellent meeting skills." Skilled meeting
leaders are becoming more and more recognized as valuable asset to any organization.
The Need – Facilitated Thinking Meetings
The meeting planner or leader can no longer just rely on an agenda and expect to have a productive meeting.
To achieve a 5-10 fold increase in meeting performance, the meeting planner must find ways to improve
the thinking productivity of everyone attending the meeting. They must learn to “facilitate" the participants’
“productivity of thought” by identify the right questions to ask, the rights tools to use, and all within the
right thinking framework and sequence.
It is amazing the power on team thinking by asking “the perfect question(s)”.
The Solution – MindSights Meeting Mentor (MMM)
Acquiring meeting facilitation skills can take years of training and experience. Since not everyone who
conducts meetings can be a trained meeting facilitator, MMM functions like a “consultant/facilitator-in-a-box”
who helps empower the average meeting leader with meeting facilitation skills.
