The days of long, drawn-out conference room meetings are over — or they should be…..

Shoreham

A recent article and business forum discussed the benefits of holding smaller and briefer meetings. These are often easier to fit in everyone’s ever busier diaries and there is then less of a tendency for people to try and avoid them. When meetings are kept brief and don’t get bogged down in too much detail and side tracked by digressions, more can be achieved in a shorter time.

It has been suggested on Small Business Trends that there are 7 easy ways to streamline a business meeting:-

• Every meeting should have a clearly stated objective
• Outline a brief agenda and include it in the emailed meeting invitation.
• Keep the list of attendees to a minimum
• Meetings should start on time and end on time.
• Have one facilitator in charge of keep the meeting on track and moving forward.
• Take notes throughout.
• Follow up afterwards with clear objectives and responsibilities to all those involved.
