Answer 1

The five basic steps for Mining Group Gold process are, to determine the purpose of the meeting, to determine the expected result of the meeting; to assign facilitator, scriber, and timekeeper; setting up of the agenda; to assign time allocation for each agenda item.

So setting up of the meeting agenda helps in the proper execution of the meeting and productive outcomes. As agenda sets the right tone with the meeting participants knowing what business issue will be discussed and the expected outcome for the same. Agenda helps in identifying the points for the discussion and keep everyone focused. If the agenda is set prior the meeting that helps in assigning the role of a facilitator, who can scribe the minutes and for the timely execution of the meeting, a timekeeper can play a vital role to keep the meeting focused and productive. It helps in maintaining the participant’s interest and encourage to have active participation rather giving excuses of not knowing subject matter to be discussed.
