Un-suck Your Meetings Via Better Design & Easy Facilitation
Details
Meetings. You probably spend hours in them each week; hundreds of hours per year. They’re often draining and wasteful when they could be energizing and effective. Now in a Covid-world, remote meetings are even harder.
Good meetings result from good design. Yet, most people have never had any training on crafting a great meeting – be it a strategy session, staff meeting, board retreat, or product brainstorm. As a result, we don’t hear all voices or the best ideas. We don’t come to consensus. We don’t discover key insights. Let's fix that.
In this active, hands-on workshop, you’ll learn four powerful facilitation techniques that you can use immediately to take your meetings from ho-hum to va-va-voom. You’ll apply easy and innovative techniques to improve your own meetings – online or off – with a human-centered approach. You’ll quickly add effective, plug-and-play meeting methods to your own innovation toolbox.
We may be meeting remotely, but let’s not let that get in the way of really connecting. Despite the virtual format, you’ll have meaningful interactions with half a dozen other attendees in the DT:DC community. Bring your design-thinking questions and be prepared for some active learning and peer sharing.
