The roots of a successfully established organization lie in a contemporary meeting structure. The authors therefore pose three questions: What are productive meetings? How can they be recognized? How do they come about? They identify concepts for a technology of meetings and adapt the structure of meetings to today's requirements. They pinpoint meeting cultures as a source of crises, where mere factual communication, monologues, professional incompetence, and defensive routines dictate the course of discussions. This book aims to enhance the understanding of the essence of creative meetings, sharpen attention to the creative aspects of meetings, and invite experimentation with new meeting structures.
