Do any of the questions listed below sound familiar?
- What is the difference between a "regular" meeting and a working session?
- What do I need to know and do to run a successful working session?
- What do meeting attendees need to prepare to contribute to the session?
- How will I know if my working session was successful or not?
If so, then I’ve designed this ActionPack™ just for you.
My clients understand that in-person working sessions are real business investments today. The economics of travel and the cost of each meeting attendee’s time can really add up. If people are coming together to work on a specific business problem, then they really need to complete their work product. As the meeting leader, you must hit the target the first time to ensure that you have the output that you need to move your work forward and to preserve and build the credibility of your work effort.
I built this ActionPack™ as a group of working session planning tools and templates accompanied by “on the ground” practitioner-proven facilitation techniques. This ensures that you and your meeting are organized to deliver tangible session output.
My ActionPacks™ are designed to walk you down a Learning Path that provides a working solution to the challenge you're experiencing. The list below provides an overview of this product's content. There are many additional tools, templates, checklists and tips embedded in each step of the process.Work Together! Facilitate a Successful Working Session1. Assess the Situation |
