What’s the Meeting Management Solution? Time Management for Meetings, aka Meeting Accelerator
Meeting Accelerator is based on a framework for thinking created by Edward de Bono, Six Thinking Hats®, which has been used by hundreds of thousands of professionals in business and government to bring structure and discipline to group dynamics. And now it’s automated!
Meeting Accelerator is to meetings what Excel is to financials -a powerful tool that makes for the best possible output in less time. Whether your meetings are face-to-face or virtual, Meeting Accelerator will co-manage the entire meeting management process in clear, easy-to-follow steps.
Here are just a few of the things that Meeting Accelerator will prompt and guide you to do:
- Define the purpose and goals of the meeting:
- Who should attend?
- Why are we meeting?
- How much time will we have?
- What are the desired outcomes?
- Design a timed agenda to ensure you reach your goals before the meeting is over.
- Make sure each participant stays focused and contributes to the meeting.
- Search out the critical thinking of the group without getting stuck in argument and debate
