Introduction

Welcome to the Meetings Effectiveness Inventory.

Instruments which take a "Situational" perspective generally use a four quadrant grid format to help an individual to determine which style he or she seems to favor the most, once known the person can access how readily he or she may be able to "flex" into their styles in order to match the different circumstances or "Situations" that may be encounted on a day to day basis.

Meetings Effectiveness Inventory

The MEI is a simple instrument to help individuals to determine whether they are doing as much as they can to make the meetings that they run and attend as useful and productive as possible. This includes all kinds of meetings that an individual may call or participate in, including large and small scale, formal and informal and broadly based or in specific terms of topic(s) covered.

The MEI assumes that there are four elemental stages in a meeting. These are:

 

  1. Pre-meeting planning
  2. Conducting or leading the meeting
  3. Encouraging input from meeting attendees
  4. Meeting action-planning and follow-up

Using 32 questions, individuals are encouraged to assess their current performance in each of the above stages. In doing so they may gain insight as to which areas improvement may occur in the future. For those that wish to go further, a 360-degree feedback version of this inventory is available to send to one or several colleagues.
