CHANGING MEETING VENUES CREATIVE WAY TO RENEW ENTHUSIASM AT MEETINGS

Different Venues

The venue for meetings is very important. If meetings are always held at the same place, there is a tendency to say the same thing and think the same way. One way to get off this situation is to hold meetings at different venues.

There are many possibilities :

- Changing meeting rooms within the company itself . It will also provide an opportunity for the people from various departments to get to know each others’ work better.

- Meeting in the suppliers or customers premises and inviting them to join in the meeting.

- Holding meetings in an outlying holiday resort where the attendees are casually dressed.

- Having outdoor meetings to tie in with some games

The possibilities are endless. It is up to you to create the right environment. You may even occasionally surprise them such as holding a meeting in the jungle, by the beach or on a cruise ship. You need not spend a lot of money. All you need is some creativity in selecting the venue.

The above are just a sampling of the ways in which innovative companies conduct their meetings to generate new ideas to fuel their phenomenal growth. Is your company ready to conduct its meetings differently? I hope this article will provide you with some food for thought.

Overall, meetings should be fun and enjoyable. Those attending the meeting should be imbued with infectious enthusiasm. Your company will then become known as a fun company and creative people will flock to work for you. These are the gold-collar workers who will propel your company to a path of sustainable prosperity.
