Value Creation Rooms
Do you spend more than one-third of your professional time in meetings?
|
As you well know, properly prepared participants and a good leader are critical for meeting success, but the physical aspects of the meeting room itself:
- sufficient space
- good lighting
- proper ventilation
- ergonomic and strategic seating, size and shape of tables
- effective audiovisual and ICT equipment
are important and often neglected factors. |

Extensive research has shown that on an unconscious level these physical characteristics influence the attention span and stress level of all participants. hence they have a clear impact on the outcome of your meeting.
To organise a successful meeting, you should be very selective about your meeting room and its architecture. A well thought through set up of tables stimulates or hinders the flow of the meeting and participants' creativity. Most meeting organisers are unaware of this impact and hence do not take it into account when choosing and preparing a conference room.
Also, do not neglect your informal meeting spaces, such as coffee corners. These conversation areas often encourage new ideas among people who may seldom see each other during the rest of the day.
