People are often triggered by a piece of information that leads them to discuss something entirely different from the initial topic. When this occurs frequently, the essential topics that need addressing may be sidelined, and progress can become very slow.
People are diverse; some are energetic and extro-verted, enjoying extensive conversations. When paired with quieter, introverted individuals, the latter may lack opportunities to express themselves. As a result, you only gain access to half of the knowledge, opinions, and experiences.
Poorly timeboxed meetings often become overcrowded with various activities and sidetracked discussions, resulting in a slower pace of accomplishing tasks. This can lead to the failure to achieve the session’s goals or necessitate borrowing time from subsequent activities.
This is a massive problem in the world. In 2018 Doodle conducted a massive study on meetings and found out some shocking results. They feel that the meetings are not the best use of their resources and time. They would rather do actual work. Behind their desks. Feels familiar?
Most people sitting on meetings are either the leaders or managers of our companies or very creative people. Both who’s work impacts greatly the performance of the company. If we waste their creative power and time, our companies lose money.
Your group will be able to stick to the topics you have planned for the session and will not drift away into topics that are not related to the end goals of the meeting.
All the objectives you plan for the session will get done. No more “oh no, we didn’t have time for that at all, the previous discussion took all the time we had”.
We build the agenda in a way, that your meeting will not run over time. It will end precisely when you planned it to, so that everyone have time to reach the next activity in their agendas.
I was invited to an international conference organised by World Cleanup Day. They had gathered a lot of data about the trash in the world and now they wanted ideas and concepts, what could be done with this data, how to put it into good use towards a clean earth.
So they wanted me to run a session where people would think about how to best utilize this data. The problem was, on one session there would be 50 people participating. And the session was planned to be only one hour long. And they wanted me to run it twice in a row. For different sets of people. Opportunity to fail twice :).
Since the participants were all super enthusiastic earth-cleaning enthusiasts, I imagined what kind of crazy “everyone talking, not getting anywhere” nightmare would wait for me if I didn’t figure something out.
So I pulled out my meeting and workshop planning framework that had saved me from crazy sessions like this before. I used many methods and principles in it to create a plan for this 50 people idea-fest and with a slight anxiety I entered the conference premises. It was after all the biggest co-working session I had ever facilitated.
People started gathering and I felt my anxiety rising, but I stayed firm, since I trusted my system. It had never failed me.
So I started the session. We went through the plan one step at a time and something really awesome happened – it worked.
By the end of the workshop, I felt a sense of accomplishment. The framework helped me achieve two main objectives. Firstly, we successfully maintained engagement and focus throughout, a challenging feat, especially with a group of this size. Secondly, we generated ideas that proved genuinely valuable for the World Cleanup Day organization—no aimless discussions, just concrete, actionable ideas. This experience taught me that with the right structure and effective methods, no workshop is too large or too ambitious.
