Meetings, workshops and trainings are a necessity in a working environment. Efficient learning is the path to innovation and productivity.
Over the years, as event organizers, we have received this challenge in the event brief. Therefore, we have listed below some ways that the structure of events can help in the process of effective learning.
Location
There is a reason why changing the “landscape” can influence the mood and productivity of participants. A location with personality can inspire participants to become more creative and innovative. By the way, if it is a location that also has accommodation, the meeting can turn into a teambuilding or a conference.
Brainstorming
The creative process of brainstorming is quite common in team meetings. Whether we are talking about the classic flipchart & marker, digital solutions or creating sticky walls where your colleagues write their ideas on a sticky note and then stick them on a wall.
COZY
Armchairs, adjustable tables, colors, beanbags - elements that create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. In addition, the fact that you emphasize comfort is conveyed to your guests.
Collaborative creativity
Through the teambuilding activities in our suite, we encourage collaborative creativity, which in turn enhances teamwork. For example, Big Picture - everyone loves to paint, whether it's talent, passion or relaxation - participants get involved in every last detail of the painting and what's more, it can be exhibited at the company headquarters.
Snacks & Coffee Breaks
Food is essential at events. If it is a shorter event, we recommend introducing healthy snacks or coffee breaks. For longer events, lunch, dinner or breakfast.
Gamification
We have been advocating gamification for several years and continue to do so for effective learning. So by creating informal event spaces with gamification twists we encourage creativity, innovation and productivity.
Relaxation Spaces
Relaxing activities at an event will help your colleagues find a balance, giving them a little break with a creative activity will spur them towards innovation. For example, relaxation areas can have Zen Gardens which can also be a nice give-away.
Areas with dividers
If your event agenda also includes 1-2-1 meetings - whether for feedback, brainstorming or informal discussions - we recommend you to create special areas for this.
Team meetings are essential to organizational growth - both in terms of the individual, the team and the company's goals. The structure of these types of events is very important in order to arrive at the end of the event with relevant conclusions and the objectives of the event achieved.
