Making Meetings Matter
: Business success is closely related to meeting success. Think back to the last meeting you attended. When these meetings are skillfully facilitated, the outcomes are superior decisions, accompanied by full understanding of the decision, buy-in and effective implementation. Not surprisingly then, meeting facilitation has been called the core competency of the 21st Century. It is the "strategic" skill most directly linked to the success of the team and organization.
