One
concept from the assigned reading this week, not already discussed, that I
found interesting and/or useful was the Post-Meeting
Evaluation Forms. I remember a couple of times that I had to do that for
class group projects and didn't take them too seriously. For the work
environment however, these forms would be a great concept to help improve the
group. Specifically, they are questionnaires that seek specific feedback from
participants about a particular activity or meeting. It can give the group
immediate information and answers about how the meeting went which gives open
opportunity to improve the group immediately. The types of questions that should
be asked on these forms are specific toward the group and ask for specific
detailed answers. Keeping the questionnaires anonymous is key. That was the
answers can be tallied and discussed in the group and no one has to feel
cornered, left out or uncomfortable. Again the discussion will be group lead
about the questionnaire and feedback will can help the group discuss and
improve itself together.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that having post-meeting evaluation would help a group improve. I have been in groups where we would get business done, but never resolve our previous problems. We would keep the same positions and have the problems re-occur. I believe having a type of evaluation will help increase productivity and progress for a group. Letting group members know that there is problems from the beginning well avoid delays in the long run. Groups should be able to evaluate themselves, if not, group discussions should take place. Ignoring the problems will delay productivity for the group. Having post-meeting evaluation should be mandatory!
