How to Meeting
This page is intended to develop a guide for how to have better meetings in the hacklab. It is a draft - contributions invited. If you are interested and would like to discuss it further, you may like to add your name below.
People who would like to have a meeting to discuss the terms of reference for the formation of a committee for the formation of a working group on administrative affairs and the writing of guidance on how to have meetings:
- River
Meeting facilitation training
Would you like to learn how to run better meetings? I have been to a training session on this and found it worthwhile. It was run by someone who understands community organisations and was not unpleasantly corporate. If you would like to attend one please add your name below and if there are enough people I will organise it.
- River
Actual content follows
- Consider that meetings and discussion have a cost in time and energy. What is the value of the point you are making compared to people's time? Could you use your and other people's time on something more important?
- Worse is better. Consider the 80/20 rule. 80% good enough is good enough. It's not worth another 80% effort on the same thing when you could use the time for something else.
- Appoint a meeting facilitator.
- Develop your skills in meeting facilitation, and participation.
- Try to see the bigger picture.
