Weekly Creativity & problem-solving

For the next few weeks, I am going to share simple and different ways to communicate within your business such as daily Briefing, weekly Creative and problem-solving meetings, and monthly Communication meetings.

Once a week have a department head/supervisor meeting with key members of your team depending on the number of team members in your business. Even if you have a small business and only two or three supervisors, don’t rely on daily small talk. Be sure to have formal creativity – problem-solving meeting minutes taken with action items noting timeframes. This meeting will allow you, your team, and the business once a week to get and solve the most critical team or operational and take decisions. I have worked in more than 10 countries and in more than 15 organizations and have seen nearly everything. All too often meetings are unproductive, long, and boring.

Try a creative meeting. Instead of doing a weekly informational meeting that might be too repetitive, you could alternate and do a creative problem-solving meeting. You take the same people in the room for 60 minutes maximum and discuss one or two issues the team or you want to solve. Take 30 minutes per subject, or if it is a difficult one, use the full hour. Split it up into two groups, give them 15 minutes to analyze the root cause, and come back with three to five suggestions to solve the issue. Then both groups have to present their results. Make a plan of action with solutions proposed in the following two weeks. Then the team is discussing and solving the issue, not you. I recommend the first week of the month focus on financials, the second week on Sales, the third week on number issues from your team, and the fourth week on the number of clients challenge.

And you do you have weekly creative - problem-solving meetings?
