  3. What are the different “elements” that make a meeting? – That is, what do you need to be able to call an event a “meeting”?

  4. There is a “POPE” model, which suggests that the four elements of a meeting are – PEOPLE, OBJECTIVE, PROCESS & ENVIRONMENT. • POPE MODEL - PEOPLE • Consider the meetings that you attend regularly – how does the way that different people act in a meeting effect the outcome of those meetings? “A meeting is an occasion when people get together, some to say what they do not think, and others not to say what they really do.” (Vladimir Voinovich, Russian writer)

  6. POPE MODEL - OBJECTIVE • In the meetings that you attend – are the objectives & expected outcomes of that meeting clearly defined from the outset? • What are the advantages of doing this?

  7. POPE MODEL - PROCESS • In relation to the more “formal” meetings, what is the process that you use to set up and then to conduct that meeting?

  8. POPE MODEL - ENVIRONMENT • Where are the meetings held? • What would you say are the issues that need to be addressed in relation to environment when setting up a meeting?
