Weâve all been in meetings where participants are unprepared, people veer off-track, and the topics discussed are a waste of the teamâs time. These problems â and others like it â stem from poor agenda design. An effective agenda sets clear expectations for what needs to occur before and during a meeting. It helps team members prepare, allocates time wisely, quickly gets everyone on the same topic, and identifies when the discussion is complete.
Purpose of business meetings must be clear. Business meetings should always have a clear and precise purpose, it has been claimed. Bobby White, of Reliance Financial Group, said it does not matter whether the meeting is client-related, strategic or operational â the reason for staging it must be well communicated. Writing for Birmingham Business Journal, he said that nobody should ever walk away from a meeting asking themselves why they were required to be present.
