A meeting is effective if they prepare the appropriate agendas and ask the participants to attend this business meeting. It is how they need to address the business problems with the people involved. They are the ones who are going to share their expert judgments on certain issues that need to be resolved. The positive outcome will be witnessed in the follow-up meetings.

To ensure a meeting is productive, you have to prepare an agenda and distribute it to the participants before the meeting. During the meeting, every participant should be given the chance to express their opinion.

There must be an agenda for a meeting. You must make sure it's follow to the latter because that's the only way there won't be any chaos. It will help the meeting go.

Yeah to ensure a meeting is productive, you need to be focused and don't waste useful time on meaningless talks during the meeting, then everyone should be given the chance to talk

A meeting is called based on clear agenda not an instant one where workers can establish their own. There's a head to lead the meeting and the meeting will be to discuss the previous months production and the next month's and each member can share under other matters.

You need to make everyone know the purpose of the meeting. you can do that before it starts and that way everyone can have their opinions.

Correct, during the meeting, the host will ask if there are other matters to discuss and that is the time to shift to a new issue to be discussed outside of the agenda already discusses by the head.

You are right. We need to be prepared in terms of providing leaflets, manuals, etc. In this way, they can follow during the meetings. It is best to be prepared than being lousy during the meeting per se.

In some business ventures they always have manuals for every business meeting. That way they will always concentrate on the subject matter.

For saving the mother Earth, some companies do not need to create manuals in every meeting. Besides the point, it will add to company's expenditure. Power point presentation is enough to show the main agendas of the meeting.

You're right, creating manuals can be an excess cost for the business venture. But if it is something they can do without feeling it financially then it may be the best.

I am sure they can do something about it. All I know is that they need to do cost-cutting for the expenses. At some point, they can also do recycling things up like using the back of used bond papers.

One thing that can make a meeting productive is the scheduling of the meeting. Do not schedule the meeting to inconvenience anyone as this would not make the staff to give you full attention.

A meeting can be said to be productive if it is held based on a clear agenda, what is discussed at the meeting is carefully prepared, all meeting participants can attend and actively provide input/opinions, there are good meeting results and are in line with expectations. etc.

Having a good meeting and a productive one is by giving room to all members in the meeting to bring out their best productive ideas and the topics o discussions should be what would get the people engaging.

When all staff of an organization can participate in the meeting and they agree with the resolutions, we can say it was a successful meeting. The important thing is harmony in the resolutions.

Surely and that is why you need to have an open meeting with the staffs and ensure to table out the most important things in a way that all members at the meeting would be able to give out their opinions.

In my opinion, the meeting is a success when the agendas are clear to the members and the discussions are straight on to those agendas and there is a conclusion/outcome after the meeting.

Its not the activities that takes places during the meeting that makes it productive, it is what happens next after the meeting. Is there any positive changes take place ?
