Facilitation and Effective Meetings
The world would be a better place if meetings ran well, accomplished as much as they could, and made participants glad they attended. The keys to accomplishing this are good facilitation and a well-prepared agenda. Just about anyone can learn to do both. To help people run better meetings, KWA makes the materials freely available under a Creative Commons Licence.
