    • Although millions of people spend a good percentage of workdays in meetings, very few of them are designed well. 

    Too often, meetings are information downloads lacking real human engagement and they don’t necessarily help us get closer to our desired outcome. They simply keep us busy.  

    However, with some intentionality, you can design more engaging, human-centered, and effective meetings by applying a few key design principles. 

    How does it work?

    Download the worksheet and apply the following steps to design more human-centered, engaging and effective meetings: 

    • Clarify the purpose and desired outcome of the meeting

    • Articulate and prioritize the information you need to share with the participants

    • Address the participants’ emotions

    • Design for the behaviors you want to shift

    • Explore a range of activities that address your goals, and select the ones to include in your meeting

    • Outline your meeting plan and check whether it will all work in the given time
