I just read a great article by Peter Bregman about how to run productive meetings. His conclusion is that the number 1 killer of meetings is PowerPoint. Having sat through death by PowerPoint on so many occasions I have to wholeheartedly agree!
When I read Peter's article from the Harvard Business Review it reinforced for me the value of HealthCa.mp.
The value is in the discussion and in breaking out of the silos. This is exactly what we accomplish at HealthCa.mp.
I have been thinking about the dynamic nature of HealthCa.mp. The unpredictability of the outcome but the incredible energy boost that everyone appears to receive as a result of participating. I would love to take the HealthCa.mp un-conference format in to other organizations and like Peter Bregman, help organizations run powerfully productive strategy meetings. If you would like to road test our field-proven Un-conference methodology in your organization then please get in touch. You can reach me via email at mark AT ekivemark DOT com.
