Facilitating events involving stakeholders
Organising and preparing for a meeting or event is only part of the picture. We also needed to pay attention to the likely group dynamics and use our facilitation skills to offset any disasters.
Reflective Activity 11
Most of us have been in meetings where things did not go well and nothing useful was achieved. Can you write down some of symptoms of a ‘bad’ meeting that you have experienced?

Answer
There are many symptoms of disastrous meetings and they can be described in different ways, but our list of symptoms was:
| One person dominates the discussion |
| No real interaction happens |
| People in the meeting don’t agree with each other |
| At the end, nobody is happy |
| People don’t show up at the meeting |
| The discussion remains superficial. |
