Intro

Meetings are a great place to create the culture of a company.

AboutUs is a fun, vibrant & engaged place to work–let's carry this culture through to the meetings.

MarkDilley & Julia a really excited to work on a proposal for making meetings run more smoothly. Please join us!

Brainstorm

The Past

• What has worked with our meetings, i.e. what do you like. What have we struggled with as an organization in terms of meetings?
• What are some specific things about meetings at AboutUs that don't work?

The Future

• What do we as an organization want meetings to look like in the future? What are some qualities that we want?
• Do you have any suggestions for meetings and decision making that have really worked?
• How strict should we be about times?
• One large issue meeting a day?
• Consensus?
• Meeting Times: Having planning meetings on Friday afternoon might not be the most productive time?
• What role can consensus polling take?
• The law of two feet.
• Concept of the breakout meetings
• Respect: Talking over people, space to let everyone speak up, how can we demonstrate a respectful work environment at our meetings?
• How do we get the groups attention/back on track
• Follow through: notes are put up, project page is reoriented, Leave the meeting with clear actions delegated. Next meeting is set & facilitator chosen.
• Feedback loop: At the end of a meeting? Email? Conversation?

The Action Move

• MarkDilley & Julia are interested in proposing a system to try? Would anyone like to join us?

I think many of your ideas are great; change in some form is overdue and will arguably help with productivity. I am in. yeah. Kasey
