The user group is easily defined as all employees involved in organising and attending meetings. This includes members of the back office, the administrative department, business development, marketing and sales – anyone who does not directly contribute to the production process.
In seeking to increase the return on the time and resources invested in meetings Parmenides MEETING EFFICIENCY™ pursues a corporate approach. We do not, therefore, supply individual licences, but corporate or organisation-wide licences only.
Parmenides MEETING EFFICIENCY™ makes use of a typically a lean and efficient implementation process. The vast majority of users are trained by means of a set of video podcast self-learning modules. A small group of “superstars” will receive advanced on-site training as the first step in creating an in-house technical and methodological support team.
An optional but highly recommended part of the implementation process is an assessment of current meeting practice within the organisation’s process landscape, following which a set of customised meeting architectures is developed for regular meetings.
The final step on the way to creating a true learning organisation concerns the meeting documentation and the creation of a “Meeting Backbone”. The automatically created documentation system ensures the transparency and traceability of the thought processes and decisions taken at the organisation’s meetings. It is also a powerful means of accessing lessons learned in the past and ensures a high degree of knowledge reutilisation.
