Identify if the stakeholders will initially understand the solution, what the benefits are to the company and themselves, and what cultural change is required going forward. •List of risks, concerns, and issues that stakeholders may have with the solution. •Describe what type of data needs to be collected for quantitative and qualitative measures on the performance of the solution

Business meetings are an essential part for operations in any organisation. They allow employees and management to interact, communicate and share ideas and information’s with each other’s. Such information includes on new development as well. It encourages team work and motivates employees regularly so that they perform well. For any business meeting a proper infrastructure is required, i.e- the conference room, meeting table, etc. No business meeting can be conducted in absence of a table for meeting.

Each stakeholder, employees, management should encourage for purchasing a meeting table. As stated, business meetings are of utmost important in any organisation. It helps in sharing regular updates with the management, sharing of information of new development, communicating the management on any serious issues, appraising and awarding employees of their hard work, etc. Meetings can be done on anything within the organisation, on any topic which would be beneficial for the entire team. Our stakeholders- employees & management should understand the benefit such meetings can give them- they can help them in sharing information, help in sharing any problem they are facing in their business operations, help their overall growth as they get chance to communicate with the management. For organisation- it could help them to know their employees better, help in know the view-point of each employee, help understand any critical area of functionality, help in overall growth of organisation. Going and talking person to person takes a lot of time and is old procedure. The company should make a cultural change in its operations technique. It should adapt new techniques which could help in achieving the goals of the organisation in short period of time. Conducting meeting on regular basis is one such change that could benefit both employees and the organisation.

Risk, concerns and issues that employees and management may have are:

• It is time consuming- Business meetings take a lot of time. This could affect in functionality of their work which would get delayed. Since, employees will be engaged in meetings, the work or projects they do for helping organisation achieve goals will be delayed due to delay in performing any particular action. More involvement of employees in these meetings, would result in more loss to productivity which would in turn affect the organisation directly.
• Leader for such meetings- One major disadvantage for meetings in person who will lead the meeting. There could be a different view point of person who is conducting or being the speaker in the meetings, which could differ from that of others. This would result in deviation of agenda of the meeting because there will be non-stop question answer sessions on topic which would not be relevant. When a clear leader to run the meeting, no one quite understands the rules of the meeting. This can also result in creating confusions.

The type of data that needs to be collected for quantitative and qualitative measures on the performance of such solution are- interviews or reviews from individual stakeholders, grievances from individual stakeholders, by interacting with the individuals on one-on-one basis. Types of quantitative data required are- current status of the action or solution, cause – effect relationship of the solution, statistical analysis of the solution. Such data will help an organisation to come to a conclusion.
