Making decisions in meetings is never easy. After all you\u2019re talking about human beings, and human beings are complex.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no wonder meetings can seem to drag on indefinitely. What seems like a simple goal becomes more tricky the deeper you delve.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s needed is an efficient, incisive methodology to get you in and out of that meeting room as quickly as possible \u2013 without compromising on the attention you\u2019re paying each individual. As it happens, becoming more efficient can actually help you make better decisions.<\/p>\n

So what does an efficient meeting look like? Clue: it starts with an efficient agenda.<\/p>\n

Each item will come with it\u2019s own time limit, active question, and aim or ideal outcome. You\u2019ll write your agenda as economically as possible with short, active sentences, questions, and bullet points.<\/p>\n

That way, everyone knows the parameters of the meeting, and can refer to their agenda during discussion without zoning out of what\u2019s being said.<\/p>\n

Spreading the workload can also help you become more efficient. Give each item a \u2018leader\u2019 and they will do the background work \u2013 allowing you to concentrate on your area. It also gives your voice a rest and saves your energy sagging and dragging the whole meeting down when you\u2019re only halfway through.<\/p>\n

Business Backer\u2019s new visual guide explains just how this might work \u2013 and contains more ideas on what you can do to cut those meetings in half.<\/p>\n

An hour spent redesigning your meeting process today will save you countless hours in the future.<\/p>\n
