for your business
A good meeting is great for business. Here are our best ideas to make them happen more often, and eliminate the less productive ones. Focus on setting clear objectives, creating a structured agenda, and ensuring that only essential participants are invited. By managing time efficiently and fostering an environment that encourages active participation, you can significantly enhance the productivity and outcomes of your meetings.
Create a clear pathway into the meeting
You want participants to quickly get and agree on a given context. Make it easy to understand where to go and what to do. Why not with a welcome sign on a noticeboard – that allows you to proceed with meeting notes on its whiteboard reverse?

Shape the meeting to suit your purposes
Whenever you can, make meetings active. Animate participants, divide them into groups, change the room set-up over time. Furniture and room dividers that are easy to move make for a more fluid, customisable space. Do workshops. Gather standing up, just for a change or to think on your feet.

Take breaks. Serving snacks and drink in a separate space can be a good idea. It gives people time to move around, exchange fresh thoughts with each other, and return to the meeting energised.

Where are you gathering? Is the room used for other purposes? When space-efficiency is key – make sure to have slimline, stackable chairs with proper seating comfort. If they happen to have washable covers and a clever back pocket perfect for personalised meeting kits, all the better.

Put all the material at hand in one place. The NISSAFORS rolling cart is the ideal place because you can move it around the room, it's flexible and has enough storage space for folders, notebooks and even laptops.
