especially large groups, is important for keeping everyone awake and active during these sessions

The presentation template is with the client, but each partner is responsible for updating the group on past activity results, what’s in the works and what activity is coming up. This is probably the most important step, as it allows for cross collaboration where partners/agencies can build on, or help support current or future initiatives which otherwise would of been missed opportunities. It also means they’re briefed and are now responsible for working together to deliver on your objectives.

Make it a priority.
So why doesn’t this happen all the time, when clearly these meetings should be a no brainer?

The reality is, that even with the best intentions, the ‘now’ can disrupt even the best seychelles email list 16461 contact leads laid plans. Be that shifting priorities, staff turnover or sheer size of workload these catch ups get moved, postponed or forgotten. A way to overcome this is changing your perspective; plan these meetings like you would any other activity.

Allocate resource: make sure this is considered ‘work,’ not just additional workload on top of the ‘day’ job. I have found that rotating ownership within your team keeps it fresh and gives everyone the opportunity to present and learn from the experience.

Make it fun: a quick group activity, which may seem lame, but in reality when you step out of your comfort zone together it creates a sense of unity and builds relationships between partners.

Provide brain food: don’t forget the treats. Feeding people, especially large groups, is important for keeping everyone awake and active during these sessions. It also works as an incentive, I have worked with people who literally attend meetings because they know they are getting fed.

Make it happen.
Go on, keep your ship on course by giving your crew the motivation and big picture thinking. This will not only give greater purpose to the ‘day to day’ but also develop stronger cross partner relationships which will mean you can spend less time in the engine room and more time steering the vessel in the right direction to your final destination.
