A Twitter Type of Meeting.
July 1, 2009 · 2 Comments
Meetings, nothing more than meetings. Some time ago, here at LifeChurch.tv, we cut everything in half. Half the meetings done in half the time. It’s amazing how short our meetings can be and still remain effective.
How about a Twitter Type of Meeting? Maybe it would look like this….
140 Characters or less. Actually, much less. If the purpose of your meeting is to make important decisions, five or fewer people seems to work best. Keeping the number odd also helps to avoid a tie.
140 minutes or less. Actually, much less. Many meetings, when adequately prepared for, can be very effective in 15 or 30 minute blocks of time.
140 words or less. Stay on topic. Dialogue, debate, collaborate, make a decision, identify action steps and timelines, and recap for clarity.
125 characters or less. That’s how many you can have to leave room for others to retweet. If your meeting landed on a decision that needs to spread through the rest of the organization, make it easy for others to spread the news. You may even want to Twitter it.
