The best meeting and management practices are the ones we can learn quickly, replicate, and maintain – to respond quickly and effectively to all kinds of change or disruption. Keep it simple! Plan, deliver, adjust – in short cycles – over and over again. Whatever you’re up against, an open, agile approach can make a big difference:
- Invite Everyone
Engage and Energize the Whole - Visualize Everything
Understand and Align the Work - Prioritize and Refine
Do the Right Things, Right Now - Commit and Deliver
Take Many Small Steps to Win Big - Review and Improve
Learn, Adapt, Evolve (Repeat)
This simple way of working is immediately practical, and powerful, in any kind of organization or situation. It works with the people, tools and resources you already have. Applied at any scale, it can help you deliver the results you need and overcome obstacles to sustaining your success.
We can start with one or a few teams, in one big event or a short series of meetings. Connect diverse groups and functions. Share roadmaps and align efforts. Engage customer and stakeholder groups. For best results, leaders go first. Start with the senior team, board and committee chairs, or any other core group. Work out from there.
