Status update meetings is one of the most
common meeting types. This category
includes regular team and project meetings,
where the primary goal is to align the team
via updates on progress, challenges, and next
steps. Commonly found group activities in
these kinds of meetings are problem
solving, decision making, prioritization,
and task assignment.
Presentations, panel debates, keynotes, and lectures
are all examples of information sharing meetings.
The primary goal of these meeting is for the
speakers to share information with the attendees.
This could be information about things
like upcoming changes, new products and
techniques, or in depth knowledge of a domain.
Visual communication tools, like slides and videos,
are powerful tools for making the shared
information more memorable.
The vast majority of business decisions are made by
groups in meetings.There are different types of
group decision making processes, and care should be
taken to choose a process that best matches the
situation. A decision making process can include
group processes like information gathering and
sharing, brainstorming solutions, evaluating options,
ranking preferences, and voting.
The key objective for problem solving
meetings is to find the most optimal solution or
reach the best compromise that can resolve an issue
facing the group or organization. In order to do this
the group first has to identify possible solutions, and
then evaluate these based on relevant requirements
and criteria.
Innovation meetings and creative meetings often
start with thinking outside the box, by sharing
ideas in a broad scope. Meetings where the main
focus is to come up with new ideas, designing or
redesigning products, or developing entirely new
approaches for your business, can all be defined
as innovation meetings.
All meetings should contribute to team building,
strengthening relationships and corporate culture.
However, now and then team building
activities should be the main focus for a meeting.
Have participants feel like essential parts of their
unit, team, department, branch, and company has all
kinds of positive impact on their engagement,
performance, and satisfaction.
