Who and why?This course is designed for anyone who attends meetings and wants them to be a productive use of their time. Many say that meetings are one of the major time wasters in business. Outcomes are sometimes not qualified and the costs are significant. This course will change that, giving step-by-step guidance on how to achieve effective business results from any meeting. The course deals with planning and conducting meetings, whether as chair or participant.

Well-run meetings have clear agendas, are kept to time and chaired with discipline and fairness. In this way they ensure progress and improved business results. |
