Meeting Management Training — Getting Your Time, Decisions and Energy Back
Professionals across UK organisations spend an average of 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings — nearly four full working days lost to unclear objectives, absent agendas, decisions never made and actions never followed through. Without structured meeting management skills, the same dysfunctional patterns repeat across teams and organisations.
This full-day programme gives managers, team leaders and meeting chairs the planning skills, facilitation techniques and accountability frameworks to run meetings that are genuinely productive — with the depth of practice that produces lasting behavioural change.

What Delegates and Organisations Gain From This Programme
A structured pre-meeting planning process — SMART objectives, focused agendas and participant selection that make every meeting purposeful before it starts
Practical facilitation and chairing skills — managing time, keeping discussions on track and preventing dominant personalities from hijacking the agenda
Working knowledge of the DACI decision-making framework — ensuring every meeting ends with clear, owned decisions rather than deferred ambiguity
Techniques for running inclusive, productive hybrid and virtual meetings where remote participants are as engaged as those in the room
A post-meeting accountability loop — documenting outcomes, assigning action ownership and creating the follow-through culture that makes meetings matter
A personal meeting improvement plan with checklists and templates ready to apply from the very next meeting they chair
Full-Day Meeting Management Training Programme
Delegates explore why meetings fail and the measurable cost of poor meeting culture. They identify the right meeting type for each situation, learn when asynchronous alternatives are more effective, and practise planning meetings using SMART objectives, focused agendas and appropriate participant selection.
Delegates practise chairing meetings that stay on time and on topic, apply the DACI decision-making framework to ensure clear owned outcomes, manage dominant voices, draw out quieter contributors, and facilitate inclusive hybrid and virtual meetings.
Delegates build a post-meeting accountability loop, develop strategies for a meeting-light culture and leave with a personal meeting management improvement plan — with checklists and templates ready to apply from the very next meeting they chair.
