In-Person Virtual
  • Start and end meetings on time; incorporate breaks if the meeting must run long and end early if you finish ahead of schedule.
  • Keep the meeting small to encourage everyone to contribute; do not include bystanders.
  • Ensure everyone is fully present and not multitasking during the meeting.
  • The decision‑maker summarises the meeting’s resolutions and emails tasks to participants and relevant parties within 48 hours.
  • Designate a clear decision‑maker to call the meeting, set objectives and determine participants.
  • Ensure every meeting has a clear purpose and structure; call a meeting only if it is necessary and has a defined goal.
  • Share the agenda and preparatory materials at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Invite only the necessary participants and aim for no more than eight people.
