What are some key KPIs and analytics that can be tracked across meetings?

Common challenges in conducting effective meetings include lack of clear objectives, poor preparation, ineffective communication, and lack of participant engagement. These can be overcome by setting clear objectives and agenda before the meeting, ensuring all participants are well-prepared, facilitating open and effective communication, and encouraging active participation from all attendees.

Virtual communications can be made as effective as in-person meetings by implementing several strategies. First, ensure that everyone has a clear understanding of the technology being used. This includes knowing how to mute and unmute, share screens, and troubleshoot common issues. Second, set clear expectations for participation and engagement. This could include asking everyone to keep their cameras on, or setting a rule that everyone contributes at least once during the meeting. Third, make use of virtual tools to facilitate collaboration and engagement. This could include using polling features, breakout rooms, or shared documents. Finally, follow up after the meeting with a summary of key points and next steps to ensure everyone is on the same page.
