Event #14 - Effective Meetings

Learning & Development Professionals Forum #14 Tuesday, 28th June 2011

UTS invites you to the first L&D Professionals Forum for 2011 – a workshop on effective meetings conducted by David Pointon, Managing Director, FAST Meetings Co. David and his team have spent the past seven years investigating why so many organisations have poor meeting habits and what can be done to turn the massive investment of time, effort and money in meetings into a powerful productivity driver.

Why should you attend?

· To explore issues and impacts of your Meetings System

· To understand why ineffective habits and behaviours occur

· To learn some practical tips for running better meetings.
