The Ultimate Meeting Logistics Checklist

Submitted by Jason Diceman on August 4, 2010 - 4:46pm.

Meeting logistics are all the details that help a meeting go well, beyond who is invited, the agenda, facilitator and content.  A good logistics plan describes information such as:

  • room set-up, including numbers of chairs, tables, flip-charts, etc.
  • items for the registration table
  • materials for break-out groups and activities
  • audio/video system requirements
  • catering and refreshments

…and who is responsible for which items. 

Action Implementation Plan - a two page template

Submitted by Jason Diceman on October 19, 2009 - 9:36am.

For BikeCamp TO I created a simple one page (two-sided) form to help small groups to document a plan to get something done.

Sections included in the form are:

  • Name for the plan
  • Desired results to be achieved and strategies to be used
  • Key strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats (aka a SWOT analysis)
  • Contact information for team members
  • Timeline of important tasks and major milestones

This simple template can help focus ad-hoc teams and give concrete outcomes to open space conferences. I hope you find it useful!

Committee Terms of Reference Template

in
It is a good idea that each committee of an organization (AKA team, working group or sub-group) be clearly defined in writing. This promotes understanding of who is in the group, what they aim to achieve, and how they intend to go about doing it. Below is a detailed template of what such a committee charter or definition sheet might include. Of course your group should customize this format to best match your group's unique needs and tendencies.

Committee Report Template

in

Committee's are often required to report their progress to the board and/or to the larger group. While such a report may be presented orally at meetings, it is often recommended, if not required, to also publish a report in print format. Below is a suggested format for such a committee report.
