You can apply effective practices from different business areas and overall topics to other areas of working. Many things from the learning area<\/strong> can help to build better practices in different work areas. Like the flipped learning<\/strong> > flipped meetings<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principles of backward design<\/strong> can help to produce better meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s backward design?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Backward design’s fundamental basis is that by beginning with the end in mind<\/strong> rather than with the first lesson delivered in a unit or course’s chronological order, teachers can create a series of lessons, problems, projects, presentations, assignments, and assessments that will help students meet the course or unit’s academic objectives<\/strong>\u2014that is, actually learn the material they were supposed to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s backward meeting design then?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Meetings should start<\/strong> by focusing on the intended result<\/strong> rather than the actual substance. How do we want the attendees to change from how they were before the meeting in terms of their thoughts or actions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning the meeting agenda<\/strong> could look like the following:
1) Identify goals and desired results,
2) Consider what would constitute evidence of meeting the goals, and
3) Design the meeting experience to ensure success and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
