About Lesson

NOTE: Templates and examples attached in the exercise files

For a meeting to be effective it must:

  • be held at the time and date specified
  • keep to the timeframes specified
  • achieve the desired purpose, goal or outcomes.

During a meeting there may be differences of opinion or matters that arise not on the agenda. The meeting may become out of control if not chaired properly or create conflict and disagreements. Therefore, it needs to be structured and conducted effectively, keeping to the agenda and timelines.

The purpose may be to achieve agreed outcomes by the end of the meeting through consultation, feedback, compromise and consensus.
