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.
For example, some meetings could be to discuss policy and others to discuss organisation (practical work). Wherever possible the members must know what type of meeting they are going to and what the meeting is for in other words, the PURPOSE of the meeting.Sometimes an organisation might call a special or extraordinary meeting. There are different types of meetings and planning and it should take account of this.herever possible the members must know what type of meeting they are going to and what the meeting is for in other words, the PURPOSE of the meeting.
