Wasting time in pointless meetings...It's the bane of work life-and the one thing that never seems to change. But meetings can be highly effective, says Martin Murphy, who has helped a "Who's Who" of corporate clients transform timesapping meetings into "breakthrough sessions" that are truly productive. His strategy is not simply to speed them up or make them more palatable with flashier facilitation. Rather, the key is to upend the entire concept of meetings. That means throwing out traditional protocols and using one of four new collaboration models to get more done, faster than ever before. These sessions address: Issues management: identify, rank, and resolve issues-promoting critical concerns to Action Plan status * Problem solving: thirty-minute sessions for solving complex problems * Innovation: discover the billion-dollar idea that lurks in every organization * Strategic planning: stripped-down protocols for the kind of ongoing, realtime planning required in today's fast-paced economy In an era when innovation and speed-to-market rule, No More Pointless Meetings leverages the creativity and knowledge of an organization's people-a potent resource that conventional meetings ignore.
Klappentext zu „No More Pointless Meetings “

Author Martin Murphy uses his years of experience helping elite corporate clients transform time-sapping meetings into truly productive "breakthrough sessions," to reveal the key to getting things done, solving tough problems, uncovering great ideas, planning strategically, and, most importantly, saving valuable time in your workday. His strategy is not simply to speed meetings up or make them more palatable with flashier facilitation. Rather, he reexamines and upends the entire concept of meetings--throwing out traditional protocols in favor of new models for producing results faster.Readers will learn how to manage issues by identifying, ranking, and resolving them through action plans; the secret to solving complex problems in thirty-minute sessions; and how to strip down protocols to encourage ongoing, real-time strategic planning. In an era when innovation and speed to market rule, No More Pointless Meetings leverages the creativity and knowledge of an organization's people--a potent resource that conventional meetings ignore--so that your team can stop wasting time and start experiencing more productive, effective collaboration.
