Quick Tip #3: Crucial Elements of High Stakes Facilitated Meetings

Whether in person or virtual, these three meeting elements are crucial for meeting success:

1. Clarity of purpose and outcome.  Your meeting should have a crisp, thoughtful meeting purpose that matters to participants, and clear outcomes that further your mission and vision.
2. Engaging design.  In-person or virtually, it’s crucial to have engaging and well-organized sequence.  The design should be a clear, thoughtful, and logical sequence that supports your group to create and think together to achieve your objectives.
3. In-the-Moment Facilitation.  A strong facilitator will find a balance between stepping in and reminding you of your outcome, and stepping back to so that your group can unleash its creativity.
