Preparation of pre-meeting materials may or may not preceed a live recording session. When I contract with a client for a live recording session, up to 3 hours of pre-charting services are included in my fee. If there is no live recording session, this is contracted by itself.

You can combine pre-charting with live events. Pre-charts can be big or small, simple or more complex.

If you are having a small meeting or primarily a “working” meeting where small groups are gathering to work together and report out to the larger group, but you’re not having major presentations, you might use one or more of the following:

Agendas

Agendas can be done in a fun way to include some graphics and possibly some ground rules or desired outcomes to help guide your meeting.

Quote Posters

Clients have found these to be helpful in setting the tone of a meeting. They are usually done on flipchart paper, and are fairly short and concise quotes that I work a graphic into and can be posted throughout the room, or referred to at various times within the meeting.

Templates

If you’re doing some scenario planning, action planning, or possibly a SWOT analysis as part of your planning for the year, a wall size template for your group to fill in can be very powerful. These can also be created “table size” for small groups to work on—creating a uniform format for reporting back to a larger group. What you use templates for is not limited to any particular type of meeting. Your imagination and our partnering will create the right tools for you to use.
