  • QUOTE: Meetings are really just a series of conversations — an opportunity to clarify issues, set direction, sharpen focus, and move objectives forward. To maximize their impact, you need to actively design the conversation. ...:
    • Set up each conversation so everyone knows the intended outcomes and how to participate.
    • Manage the conversation rigorously so the discussion stays on track and everyone is engaged.
    • Close the conversation to ensure alignment, clarity on next steps, and awareness for the value created.
