apply the design-thinking checklist. 1. Identify the problem the meeting is intended to solve. Understand that problem sufficiently with research or a clear understanding of constraints. 2. Revisit and experiment with format, including length of time and method of facilitation. Consider skipping a few meetings, just to see what happens. 3. Make changes to the meeting semi-permanent after observing successes. Eliminate changes that don’t produce successes. 4. Walk away from meetings that no longer do the job intended.
