Meetings have many purposes for why the take place, they are an initial way of communicating information with the full team all in one place. They have main functions and structures to why the meetings take place.
One purpose of the meeting is to inform other team members of relevant projects and programmes that have been running and the outcome of what they are. Also to inform the meeting of any new developments that may have come up since the last meeting or any changes in the offices across the country that may needed to be known by the team.
The second purpose of meetings is to generate new ideas or ways to make our programmes and projects bigger and better. Also to think of new ideas in regards to the way the team work together, the way things are marketed and any other items that may need a re think on.
Another purpose is to resolve problems that any staff members may be experiencing in their own offices, or any general problems, e.g. with technology, staffing matters, outcome of courses-programmes-projects. Meetings are a good place to start to resolve problems by putting solutions into place or start to think of solutions on how to fix problems.
Also a good place to discuss proposals and ways of working are in team meetings, as a team discussion on vaious things could outline new ideas of how to work and propose a better structure of work that is more effective for everybody.
Meetings are a good place to also make decisions on various work releated activites, for example the venue of the next meeting to ensure that everybody is happy with where they will have to travel to etc, however more serious desicions can be made and decided by the full team.
