‘Why am I even here?’
| 26 April 2024
This is not an existential comment on the meaning of life.
It’s what you say at least five times a week in ‘those’ meetings.
One of the easiest ways to avoid this time-wasting is to have an outcome-focused agenda.
Like this.
| The ‘why am I here?’ Agenda | The Outcome-Focused Agenda |
| Customer Complaints | Action: Agree specific actions to reduce customer complaints by 15% in Q3 – 20 minutes |
| Staff turnover | Update: Reduce call centre turnover – HR to present their key strategies. Bring your questions – 25 minutes |
| Discuss Steve’s new project | Information: Project ‘Scope’ Overview, Timeline, Deliverables and Budget (Steve – 15 minutes) |
| Conference | Discussion: Ideas for our 2026 Conference Theme. |
When you write an outcome-focused agenda, you know exactly what you’re looking for. So does everybody else.
One way of making our lives easier.
Everybody will thank you.
