Boost productivity with micro-meetings

Training Theme

This training offers concrete solutions to optimize meeting time by adopting shorter and more productive formats. It presents different types of micro-meetings (speed-meeting, information meeting, reframing meeting) and particularly deepens the concept of stand-up meetings from the agile method. Participants discover how to control the time of exchanges, distribute the facilitation roles and make the team responsible. The training uses engagement theory to drive greater adoption of these new, more effective meeting practices.
