People and meetings

July 9, 2010 in Moscow will be held training "People and meetings." The training will certainly be of interest to managers and specialists who regularly organize and hold working meetings. Also, the training is recommended to all those who have to become a frequent participant in various meetings.


Meetings are one of the main organizational communication tools necessary for the successful implementation of all management functions. At the same time, ineffective (as a result, unproductive) meetings can “eat up” up to 70% of the time of managers.

Since the time of people is the most scarce resource (especially if one considers that the meetings usually involve the most “expensive” specialists and managers), it is necessary to develop the skills of organizing and conducting meetings among employees.

In addition, it is necessary to structure the existing practices and experience in the company, and on this basis to develop a systematic approach to the conduct of workshops. It is important to clearly identify the different types of meetings, depending on the specific goals and tasks to be solved. When it comes to project management, it is important to understand how the different types of meetings relate to the stages of the project life cycle.

As long as the various types of meetings are mixed, they will come to a standstill due to the discussion of inappropriate topics and the presence of inappropriate participants. They can simply turn into long-lasting “heated disputes”, which is not only a loss of valuable staff time, but also reduces the effectiveness of the company’s work as a whole.
