Jake Knapp, a design partner at Google Ventures, recently wrote an article on Fast Co. Design, where he shares a step-by-step guide to holding better, more effective meetings.
Naming his method “note-and-vote”, he details how organizations can prevent groupthink at meetings, so as to make good decisions without sapping the time and energy of those involved.
Basically, ideas are generated privately by the various individuals at the meeting before the top ones are put to a vote by the group.
According to Knapp, “the note-and-vote isn’t perfect… but it is fast. And quite likely better than what you’d get with two hours of the old way”.
