Aims and Objectives of MeetingArk
MeetingArk is the world’s first Digital Commons for Meeting best practice, established to improve organisations through better meeting practices. The platform offers a calm and clear space to learn and share, welcoming individuals from across the globe. Its core objective is to encourage meeting participants to move beyond the “same old stuff” and embrace a “Be Better, Be Different” mentality.
MeetingArk aims to achieve these objectives by providing:
* **A comprehensive resource centre.** This includes:
* A blog, “The Meeting Post,” featuring articles on diverse topics such as meeting continuity, closing meetings, and meeting etiquette
* A Wiki with information on various meeting-related topics.
* Discussion forums where members can engage in conversations around specific meeting stages, humour, companies, authors, and technologies.
* FAQs covering a range of meeting-related queries.
* **Diagnostic tools and analytics:** MeetingArk offers a diagnostic tool to assess individual needs and suggest how the platform can be most helpful. It also provides meeting analytics, including features to rate meetings and analyse results.
* **A collaborative community:** MeetingArk encourages knowledge sharing and networking among its members through discussion groups focused on various aspects of meetings. Users can join groups based on their interests and levels of activity, fostering a collaborative learning environment.
* **Insights into global perspectives and best practices:** MeetingArk recognises the global nature of meetings and offers resources exploring cross-cultural dimensions, global practices, communication strategies, cultural intelligence, global compliance, and leadership strategies within a meeting context.
The platform utilises various features to achieve its aims, such as social media integration, podcasts, and member profiles. MeetingArk also features a “MeetingArk Wiki” and a “Resource Centre” that provide members with access to a wealth of information on meeting best practices.
By providing these resources and fostering a community of engaged individuals, MeetingArk aims to empower users to conduct more effective and fulfilling meetings. Its focus on global perspectives and best practices further reinforces its commitment to improving meeting experiences across all organisational levels and cultural contexts.
