Context & Problem
Many meetings suffer from low engagement and unproductive discussions, often due to unclear objectives and lack of preparation.
Presenter
Carlos Sandre, Master Black Belt at Fronz Educação, specializes in management, leadership, and continuous improvement.
Framework/Process for Effective Meeting Agendas
Carlos shares a structured playbook to build meeting agendas that drive results, particularly useful for problem-solving or process improvement meetings:
-
Define the Objective of the Meeting Clearly state the purpose (e.g., solve a problem, create an action plan, assign responsibilities, find root causes). Avoid vague meetings where participants leave unsure about next steps or responsibilities.
-
Distribute the Agenda in Advance Sending the agenda ahead of time is critical—better to have a mediocre agenda distributed early than a perfect agenda sent late. This allows participants to prepare and start thinking about the discussion points before the meeting.
-
Start the Meeting with Silent Reading Begin with 5-10 minutes of silent reading of the agenda and problem description to ensure everyone understands the context and can contribute meaningfully.
-
List and Document Discussion Topics Clearly Use bullet points but go beyond vague topics—include detailed context, what has been tried, and specific questions or opinions sought. This guides the discussion and keeps it focused.
-
Assign Responsibilities and Set Expectations Clarify what input or contributions are expected from each participant based on their role or expertise. This is about aligning expectations, not necessarily requiring each person to speak, but ensuring relevant contributions.
Key Metrics & Results
- Engagement & Productivity Impact: 95% of professionals involved in meetings using this agenda format reported higher productivity and engagement, not only in that meeting but in subsequent ones.
Practical Example
Carlos shared a real-world agenda used in meetings with a legal entity to address specific operational problems. Participants reported being able to engage 100% in the meeting after implementing this agenda style.
Actionable Recommendations
- Use this agenda format especially when serious problems need solving or when the current process is not yielding results.
- For routine or quick meetings, it may not be practical to follow all steps, but for impactful meetings, it’s worth the effort.
- Encourage feedback on what works or doesn’t work and iterate accordingly.
Additional Resources & Marketing
- Carlos promotes a “two-in-one kit” for meeting diagnosis and time management aimed at doubling productivity, available via a link in the video description.
