Meeting agendas should be built backward from decisions, not topics

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article proposes a method for creating more effective meeting agendas by working backward from the desired decision. Instead of a simple list of topics, the author suggests starting with the final decision and then identifying what information is needed beforehand, what points require open discussion, and which individuals must be present. This backward-planning approach transforms an agenda from a mere inventory of subjects into a structured path toward a specific outcome, ensuring that meeting time is focused on critical debate and decision-making.
