To a lot of us, workplace meetings are a bane. They can be an effective way
of communicating within the organisation - although often they are not. They
can make good use of everyone's time and talent - or be wasters of both.
As a technical writer, you may find that you are expected at least to know
how to take minutes at a meeting, and it'll be a useful part of your skills
armoury if you can.
We will be showing the John Cleese film 'Meetings, Bloody Meetings', after
which Brian Clarke will outline the function and structure of meetings from
a legal point of view and along the way giving hints on how to avoid waste.
Brian taught Organisational Behaviour and Corporate Strategy at the
University of Warwick, The City University, London Business School, Wolsey
Hall (Oxford) and the UTS. He has held the roles of president, chairman,
secretary and treasurer in a wide range of private organisations.
Price? $15 members who book, $20 for others. (To cover rentals and
refreshments.)
