  3. What is a Meeting ? • A gathering of people to agree an outcome • outcomes are usually policies, action plans, ideas • The meeting must have clear objectives • There must be an outcome from the meeting • The outcome should define future actions • Avoid wasting peoples time in meetings • avoid unnecessary discussion, avoid topics which affect only a few in the group, delegate to working groups to report back
