Course Overview
A process for effective meetings and group decisions that managers quietly work around has already failed. Most disputes about group decisions begin as a conversation that was handled badly. Work is grounded in real cases drawn from this part of people management and development, which each participant adapts to conditions in their own organisation. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting effective meetings and group decisions, ready to be adapted internally. The programme works equally well for those formalising the wider people management and development agenda for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in group decisions, not around theory headings. Where effective meetings and group decisions is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Buying a tool rarely fixes group decisions; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of people management and development survives a hostile question.
