As flexible working increases and meeting platforms improve, virtual meetings can be powerful tools. They’re easy to set up and allow teams to bring minds together from all over the world, opening up a wealth of collaboration opportunities! However, they require a different approach to in-person meetings and without the right facilitation can be a major source of frustration.

So, how can you reap the benefits of virtual meetings whilst avoiding the pitfalls?

In this workshop, participants explore how to plan and structure a meeting to ensure the right people are present, reducing unnecessary engagements and wasted time. We consider how to be intentional with our approach to planning and facilitation and establish meeting etiquette so that misunderstandings can be avoided, and methods of collaboration agreed upon. Throughout, participants will experience interactive processes that they can use in their own meetings to boost engagement and encourage contribution.
