6. Exam 1 – Example 2
Question : In “Meetings Down Under”, the organization changed the format of their meetings and experienced a dramatic improvement in the effectiveness of their meetings. What was at the heart of this change? explain
Focus, focus, focus and Discipline!
With the new format (1.5 days/agenda/facilitator/documented actions) they limited their focus of each meeting to one major topic and the new format focused on addressing that topic and moving forward.
The old format allowed for dozens of unrelated topics and never ending brainstorming sessions. They spent their time talking and talking and never accomplishing anything concrete.
