• Technology Powered Meetings

  tags: meetings technology leadership education

  • Here’s a list of meeting practices that I think should be discontinued…

    • Presentations that consist of slide after slide of bullet points or large blocks of text that a speaker reads
    • Broadcasting information
    • Banning the use of technology
    • Packed agendas with little interaction time for participants

  • And a list of practices that could be enacted…

    

    • Prepare and post online all materials to be referenced – indicate advanced reading and research expectations
    • Bring your technology (laptop, mobile device) and expect to use it – set expectations on use
    • Build in skill training and practice (not just technology) for the participants so that they walk away knowing something they didn’t know before
    • Poll people for opinions on important questions – they respond with their technology to give immediate results
    • Increase collaborative small group discussion time of important questions, idea storming, working on solutions to problems
    • Build in sharing out time of work individuals or small groups have completed – expect all work to be posted online for others to see and benefit
    • Use new tools such as wikis for group responses, twitter for sharing the meeting activities and info with others, blogs for individual writing time, discussion boards for topical idea sharing
