AS we saw back on day 179, conference calls can be a big "time sucker". The "death by conference call" process does not have to occur. Here are six tips for keeping your next virtual meeting on track: * Have a back up - make sure technology is really working for everyone. How accessible is the technology to everyone? Would it be useful to reduce it to the lowest common denominator, so all can participate equally?
* Set a clear focus for the meeting. This includes sending out agenda items, and assigning time frames
* Establish roles - Roles include that of note taker and timekeeper. If you are on a web based platform set a timer. Assign times to each action or agenda item.
* Ensure everyone who needs to be there, really is
* Have a scribe/notetaker capture the minutes, and circulate them
*Review agreements at the start and end of the call
