When faced with an issue or problem to solve, teams need to identify key factors and develop solutions that lead to clear action. This process can become challenging when issues are complex or emotionally charged, often slowly progress or bringing it to a halt. This session will focus on the efficient and effective six-step, problem solving process of Meeting Mechanics. Through real-world scenarios, participants will practice the Meeting Mechanics process and leave with practical, ready-to-use tools
