Is it time for you to consider having a stand-up meeting?<\/p>\n
People have nowhere to hide. You cannot slump at a desk or concentrate on your phone or laptop while others are speaking around you.<\/p>\n
Stand up meetings encourage positive body language, direct eye contact, and therefore stronger communications.<\/p>\n
Energy tends to be more focused as it is difficult for people to gaze out the window or get distracted when colleagues are in such close and direct proximity. They are usually succinct and therefore short in duration. <\/p>\n
Finally, stand-up meetings can be fun!.<\/p>\n
Stand-up meetings are said to have their origins in the software development industry. This way of working is often described as \u201cagile\u201d for obvious reasons. Other words used to describe stand-up meetings are \u201chuddles\u201d or \u201cscrums\u201d.<\/p>\n
The primary goal of stand-up meetings is to communicate. (If this seems obvious, consider that many meetings might be brainstorms or presentations or communications updates). (divinewoodncrafts.com<\/a>) <\/p>\n Daily stand-up meetings usually take place first thing in the morning for a short time, perhaps 5-10 minutes. Those invited to the meeting stand in a circle, or in a semi-circle next to a wall.<\/p>\n They are a great way of ensuring every team member knows what is going on. A secondary benefit is in organisations where several stand-up meetings might be taking place, a representative from one group can pass on any key points to the next group. (For this reason, some companies stagger their daily stand-up meetings, perhaps starting 30 minutes apart to allow for flow of information from one group to the next.)<\/p>\n In this way, relevant information free-flows between people and groups rapidly, and without messages getting lost in translation. Not everyone has to attend. It is more important that the stand-up meeting takes place at the same time and day regularly. <\/p>\n Why a Stand Up Meeting is Better than a Sit Down Meeting?<\/strong><\/p>\n Here are some pointers to help you decide if and when you could have a stand-up meeting :<\/p>\n If you regularly hear \u201coh no, not another meeting\u201d in your work environment, perhaps you should consider changing some or all to stand-up meetings.<\/p>\n Has anything here sparked your imagination?
