meeting outcomes

Decide what outcome (ie what is the purpose) you seek for each issue, and put this on the agenda alongside the item heading. This is important as people need to know what is expected of them, and each item will be more productive with a clear aim at the outset. Typical outcomes are:

  • Information
  • Decision
  • Discussion
  • Planning (eg workshop session)
  • Generating ideas
  • Getting feedback
  • Finding solutions
  • Agreeing (targets, budgets, aims, etc)
  • Team-building/motivation
  • Guest speaker - information, initiatives, etc
