Why Annual Kickoff Meetings?


Why anniversary celebration? Why do birthday parties? Why New Year?

Why do something real?

Exactly a day-to-day boredom can definitely create meticulous, relentless rhythm that continuously without differentiation. This is all just a blur. I walk into the office, the phone rings, I answer, someone asks a question and I answered and so on and so forth, day after day, month after month, year after year

.

Back to the

Why Kickoff meetings?

For one, it allows you to vary the day as a special time and place of meeting as a special place. It also allows entire organizations to gather for a day or half a day to kick off the year.

We had a number of kickoffs in place. One year we were in the barn and another year at the swanky Chicago hotel. BBQ are my favorite, although the east coast club, a fitness complex in Chicago, not bad.

One of the great aspects of this exercise is that employees come to appreciate all that has happened over the past 12 months. It also brings the end of the year. One season is over, and the possibility that the next season opens.

Future Vision is essential

lets kick off the lead and promote the appearance of three to five years of time in broad brush strokes and precise color picture for 2011. I subscribe to the idea that what determines how the organization works to present to dictate the future of living in the organization.

issue here is that most of us have a history of the organization filed in the future bin files. Typically, the organization operates unconsciously to live in the past. I wonder if GM, Chrysler and Lehman Brothers has a perspective that they would like to share with others.

kickoff provides a distinct future be made ​​by the leadership group and chief executive officer. At this point, leadership standing and represents the future. Hopefully it's not something that has created a coffee that morning. Our clients are working and the development of the future during the previous two to three months. It is the culmination of a lot of work, and some of the participants are part of planning.

on the other kickoffs have been part of, the leadership has laid out what is going to be for everyone to go to Las Vegas or Cancun, along with props and skits. In both cases, company employees actually went to their destinations as a celebration of their accomplishments. It all started at the Kickoff meeting.

Get up and running immediately

There is much that can be done during the Kickoff meeting to help departments build cohesion and momentum. We have great exercises that encourage participants to give each other useful feedback on how I can improve internal customer service. Who sets the ground rules to facilitate this is business, not personal.

Everyone should accept the idea of ​​continuous improvement as the bottom line. When a positive context is established, unresolved issues can be explored and clarified. Besides the strengths and weaknesses of feedback, the department will design the 2012 targets, action plans and the first quarter of the events that support the overall direction.

During the initial impact, new information can be given to members of the organization. If you lean initiatives will be part of the year or a new ERP or other software is implemented, the kick off meeting is the ideal time to start training. Why not take a chance? We are all together for the day-lunch-and the New Year began. So, go for it and that the whole kick wildly productive!

So, there you are

Now we'll re-cap. Why Kickoff business meetings?

  • They put you in the past the past.
  • They create the future you live in.
  • They provide an opportunity for the Planning Department.
  • you can start training and educational initiatives.
  • All this, together with silly games and other fun distraction.

Such a deal!

So do it. Especially to do it this year, because I promise 2012 will not be anything like 2011, and you can hold me to it.

the real question is: Will you and your organization ready for the opportunities in the New Year

Let us know how it goes. We would love to hear your progress and discovery.

game to 2012th
