Meeting Freedom
Using meetings to motivate people, allocate tasks and ensure they get done.
Ask most people and they will tell you that “meetings are a waste of time”. The reasons are numerous but can be traced to lack of training in how to run meetings well.
Everyone in a supervisory or management position needs to be able to run meetings. Toolbox meetings, contractor, staff and customer meetings are a daily part of the life of managers in our industry. It stands to reason that being able to maximize the impact of a meeting and get as much constructive work done as possible can save a lot of time and money.
Over the last 8 years we have worked with MBA(NSW) members to develop an industry-specific meeting system that makes running meetings much more effective and productive. Using this system, our customers organize themselves in a lot less time. Best of all it takes just 4 hours to learn how to use it. The Meeting Freedom System combined with our workshop specifically designed for our industry is an easy way to fast track a persons meeting and organizational skills. The workshop is invaluable to people who need to organize any group
