Team connection points: Huddles and other meetings

Course Objectives

In this module, teams reassess the effectiveness of their meetings from different angles: purpose, content, participants, frequency. ​The course also introduces a ‘huddle’ technique - a structured, regular, short meeting, often using a whiteboard.

Huddle is a useful tool to: ​

• Improve communications and information-sharing​
• Request and offer help ​
• Agree on priorities and resolve workload issues​

It proved to be a foundation to move towards agile ways of working. Huddles have also helped UNOG teams to:​

• Improve problem-solving ​
• Increase the sense of belonging to the team ​
• Foster engagement​
• Increase transparency ​
