❓ Do you find the recurring meetings on your project unproductive and undisciplined ❓

Surprisingly, clients often tell me that one of the first places they feel the benefit of working with me is the approach I bring to project meetings. 

You are probably going to have quite a few recurring meetings over the duration of your project (things like team meetings, project boards / steering committees, etc.), so it makes sense to make sure you are running them EFFECTIVELY (so that you get what you need from them), and EFFICENTLY (so that they represent a good use of time and money).

So here are my top tips for productive project meetings.

00:00 - Intro
00:16 - How many meetings, when
00:29 - Terms of Reference
00:33 - Agree the ToR
00:40 - Start on time
00:50 - Materials in advance
01:00 - Prioritised agenda
01:12 - Watch the time
01:21 - Assign actions
01:30 - Finish on time
01:42 - Follow up promptly
01:48 - Summing up
