Introduction: Effective Meeting Management Training Introduction
"Calling a meeting is like raising a purchase order for $100's or $1000's"
Have you ever looked around the table and added the wages bill for the meeting in your head?
Every business meeting has a very significant and real cost, they should not be called flippantly, and they should always be well managed and productive.
Calling a meeting is often done without thinking twice, yet spending $100’s or $1000’s of the organisations money in any other way would be considered very carefully, and need approval by management. The cost of meetings is hidden, however in organisations with a ‘meetings culture’ more money is often spent on meetings than on overtime wages. Consider every 1 hour meeting with 5 people in attendance is 5 hours of time.
Consider also the ‘opportunity cost’ that occurs every time someone sits in a meeting instead of performing their primary function, and the added cost when decisions can’t be made or answers can’t be given in a timely fashion because someone is ‘in a meeting’.
Effective Meeting Management can lead to extremely productive time spent with important outcomes reached, action items assigned and they can be excellent vehicles for communication and collaboration. This Meeting Management training course gives people the awareness of costs associated with meetings, and arms them with techniques to manage meetings more effectively. By using the techniques in this meeting management course, all your meetings can be productive, plus your money and time spent wisely.
Who should attend? This Effective Meetings Training will benefit anyone that has called a meeting without considering the cost, the importance of outcomes, assigning action items and considering if there was an alternative.
