By Default or By Design?
Many meetings underperform in terms of outcomes and results. The main reason for this is that their programmes are created following standardized formats, such as classroom teaching. What good, effective meetings need instead of default programmes, is well-designed ones, as a result of professional Meeting Design! In this Workshop, you will experience how Meeting Design works in practice. You will have the unique opportunity to work with pioneering Meeting Designers Han Chiang and Mike van der Vijver. They will introduce you to the Meeting Design Triangle as a tool to create more effective meeting programmes. Don’t expect long theoretical considerations – this session will make you move your body so that your mind starts moving, as well. Facilitators:

BE OF THE FUTURE NOW Closing Keynote by Robin Sieger Individual and organisational success is not and never has been a matter of luck. We live in more uncertain times than ever before with customers having greater choice, competition becoming ever harsher and margins being squeezed ever tighter. This consequently causes increased uncertainty, executive indecision, and a lack of risk-taking in a volatile market-place. |
