The high cost of ‘cheap’ facilitation. How to run meetings with high ROI

Most people complain about too many meetings, especially the ones in which they only say: “Hi” and “Bye” without making an impact or a valuable contribution. The frustration of attending meetings whose only outcome is setting a follow-up session can only be compared to throwing money down the drain. Because unproductive, poorly facilitated meetings are not only a waste of time; they’re also a high cost for the organisation. In my talk we’ll focus on strategies for setting measurable outcomes, ensuring active participation, and aligning meeting goals with organizational objectives.

I will share tools and techniques that will help you to manage time effectively, ensure inclusive decision-making, and handle conflicts. Through real-life examples we’ll explore how even a single statement can make or break the meeting. We’ll also address the challenges of facilitation in a foreign language, its common pitfalls as well as ways to avoid them. Join me to discover how to transform your meetings into productive, engaging, and high-ROI sessions, ultimately building a culture of effective meetings in your organization.
