Support virtual communication processes in groups and teams <\/h3>\n
\n\t

Effective meetings are at the core of creative and cooperative processes in any company. However, sometimes meetings are perceived as the opposite: either repetitive and redundant or as an arena to act out conflicts and tensions.<\/p>\n

The goal is: Designing the right meeting formats in your organisation and facilitating them skilfully .<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this training program we will first explore the core ingredients of effective meetings, such as communication principles, time management and member structure. Of course, that alone does not guarantee a good meeting: moments of boredom (on the one hand) and disagreement (on the other hand) are a part of human interaction and can happen in any meeting. Thus, we will also talk about skilful facilitation as a way to moderate and balance polarities and perspectives in a group setting. Last but not least: As a lot of meetings (as well as this training program) are held in a virtual setting, we will have a particular focus on online settings.<\/p>\n

We provide answers to the most important questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • What are success factors for effective meetings?<\/li>\n
  • How can meetings be moderated efficiently and result-oriented?<\/li>\n
  • How do I ensure that the attention span and participation level of everyone is sufficient?<\/li>\n
  • How can I support group dynamic processes and create a good working atmosphere?<\/li>\n
  • How do I deal with disagreements among participants?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The training program consists of 4 virtual modules of 4 hours each. In addition, there are 3 offline phases to deepen specific topics. All modules are interactive and take place in a learning group.<\/p>\n

            As technical platforms, we use Zoom for synchronous activities (virtual meetings in the group) and blink.it for asynchronous work (offline phases).
            \nThe number of participants is limited to 14 people.<\/p>\n
