Meetings, workshops and trainings are a necessity in a work environment. Effective learning is the path to innovation and productivity.

Over the years, as event organizers, we received this challenge in the event brief. That’s why I’ve listed below some methods for the structure of the events to help in the effective learning process.

Location

There is a reason why changing the “landscape” can influence the mood and productivity of the participants. A location with personality can inspire participants to become more creative and innovative. Moreover, if it is a location that also has accommodation, the meeting can be transformed into a teambuilding or a conference.

Brainstorming

The creative process of brainstorming is quite often found in team meetings. Whether we are talking about the classic “flipchart & marker”, digital solutions or the creation of sticky walls in which your colleagues write their ideas on a sticky note and are later stuck on a wall.

COZY

Armchairs, adjustable tables, colors, beanbags – elements that create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Besides these, the fact that you emphasize comfort is conveyed to the participants.

Collaborative creativity

Through the teambuilding activities in our suite, we encourage collaborative creativity, which in turn improves teamwork. For example, Big Picture – everyone loves to paint, whether we are talking about talent, passion or relaxation – the participants get involved until the last detail of the painting and where else can it be exhibited at the company’s headquarters.

Snacks & Coffee Breaks

Food is essential in events. If it is a shorter event, we recommend introducing healthy snacks or coffee breaks. In the case of long-term events, we are talking about lunch, dinner or breakfast.

Gamification

We have been advocating gamification for several years and we continue to do so in the case of the effective learning process. Thus, by creating informal event spaces with gamification twists, we encourage creativity, innovation and productivity.

Relaxation Spaces

Relaxing activities within an event will help your colleagues to find a balance, offering them a small break with a creative activity will push them towards innovation. For example, in the relaxation areas there can be Zen Gardens that can also be a nice give-away.

Division Areas

If you have scheduled 1-2-1 meetings in the agenda of your event – be they for feedback, brainstorming or informal discussions – we recommend you to create specially designed areas for this.

Meetings within the team are essential for organizational growth – both from the point of view of the individual, the team and the company’s objectives. The structure of these types of events is very important to reach the end of the event with some relevant conclusions and the objectives of the event achieved.
