The Value and Importance of a Kick-Off Meeting. — даю ссылку на очень полезный чек-лист к совещанию от Mike Agron:

The Kick-off Meeting Checklist contains guidelines for meeting preparation, meeting agenda, and post-meeting action items. If you take care of all the smallest details ahead of time, you’ll keep last minute fire drills to a minimum.

I have completed these tasks in preparation for the kick-off meeting…
♦ Identify ensemble and key stakeholders to attend meeting
♦ Set date, time, location for kick-off meeting (in-person or GoToMeeting)
♦ Prepare agenda for the meeting
♦ Send out kick-off meeting invitation
We will discuss the following agenda items at the kick-off meeting…
♦ Identify the key players and the main contact who will have approval responsibility
♦ Identify business objectives and outcomes for Webinar event
♦ Discuss key messages, working title, and content ideas for event
♦ Discuss and select webinar format (case study, tutorial, etc.)
♦ Identify speaker(s), panelists, moderator, etc.
♦ Arrange to get speaker bios, logos, head shots, etc.
♦ Confirm dates for Table Read, Rehearsals, & Go Live Date

Following the kick-off meeting, I have completed these tasks…
