Chapter Meeting - February 17th
We had the great pleasure of welcoming Prasanth Nair, whose company, Double Gemini, offers productivity tools for project managers such as the Stack Method which helps to reduce inbox clutter and the Focus Method, which can increase project meeting productivity.
During Mr. Nair's interactive
presentation, we reviewed the Focus Method in detail. This tool acts as a well-structured outline to guide meetings in a more productive manner and increase engagement during meetings. This is achieved by structuring your meeting agenda into four distinct stages: Collect, Analyze, Complete, and Share. At each stage, several methods can be used, such as brainstorming to collect data, or conducting a SWOT analysis. The final stage is sharing the data through various methods of distribution.
Project Managers can achieve this by creating a meeting agenda that provides a structured outline of the topics for discussion as well as designated spaces that prompt responses for each topic.While a wide variety of formats can be used, the ultimate goal is to maintain focus during meetings and drive productivity with well planned and structured meeting agendas.
