Tools evaluate meetings

Like a good antivirus program for your computer, these techniques expose problem areas in your meetings, as well as provide the insights to correct those problems and weaknesses. Their importance to meeting success and their recommended consistent use, thereby, cannot be overemphasized.

Using one of these two templates, create a questionnaire that meets the specific needs of your meeting group. NOTE: When creating your questionnaire, be sure to ask open ended questions. NOTE: It is best to schedule the meeting evaluation as the second to the last agenda item.

A short agenda item afterwards will insure that everyone will take the time to complete the questionnaire. Variation 1: Use the format shown in Figure as a chart instead of an individual questionnaire. You can use it to think about a single meeting, a repeating meeting, or even all the meetings you have attended in the recent past.

The people in your meeting will have opinions. It would be much better to find out what they think and put that information to use making future meetings better.

Draw a line down the middle of a flip chart or a white board. Ask people to reflect on the meeting and yell out things they think should be kept or changed for the next meeting. This method is fast and usually yields an insight or two.

Each person gives the meeting a letter grade A-F. After recording the grades, ask people for one or two reasons they graded the meeting as they did.

If letter grades give you flashbacks, use a scale similar to the one in the picture at the beginning of this article. For more information on the Boardroom Metrics Board meeting audit process email [email protected] or call Notice: It seems you have Javascript disabled in your Browser.
