Does your team lock down the boardroom and crowd the table with stale coffee and key stakeholders every time there's a crisis?

Moving your war room to the digital world can provide the infrastructure and resources necessary to tackle changes as they come, with less overhead, no scheduling conflicts, and a more secure environment.

When your team is attempting to problem-solve, brainstorming is one of the most powerful tools you can use to generate ideas and find innovative solutions. But how should you approach your brainstorming session? Is it better to go into it with a plan laid out and a clear structure, or to keep it open-ended and free-flowing?

Becoming a skilled meeting facilitator doesn’t happen overnight — it takes lots of patience, continual learning, and confidence. With some practice, anyone can learn how to facilitate a meeting like a seasoned pro.

No matter what kind of meeting facilitator you are (Scrum Master, Agile coach, etc.), this list of skills will help you succeed in any meeting.

Meetings aren’t going away — but that doesn’t mean they can’t change. Like shifting how we view the workplace, we can change the perceptions and outcomes of meetings by thinking of them as a three-phased-event and finding the right tools to help take them to the next level.

Team collaboration results in a steady pace of productivity, and if done correctly, ensures that all members of a team stay on the same page. The ideal result is a brainstorming environment that maintains employee engagement and ensures that all employees are performing at their fullest potential.

Corporate lingo tends to have a knack for working its way out of the boardroom and into our daily lives. This all-too-familiar pattern can make it can seem like every second article posted on LinkedIn is about the new corporate trend or buzzword going around the office that you “need to know about NOW.”

Sometimes that’s all it is — a new word for an old concept, like dressing collaboration up as ‘synergy’ or referring to your team’s workload as ‘bandwidth.’

You may have heard of the “stand-up meeting’ and thought it was just another flashy example of corporate lingo trying to pump up the same old tired meeting.
