Deep dives

Transforming Meeting Culture

Meeting culture often leads to discussions that lack direction and result in more questions than answers. Many people observe that meetings become a cycle of endless topics without resolution, primarily due to inadequate preparation and the absence of a focused discussion artifact. To counter this, a shift in format and preparation is necessary, using tools that help structure thoughts visually. This approach fosters more inclusive and efficient conversations, encouraging participants to engage with specific points rather than getting lost in abstract discussions.
