Earlier this month, we hosted a series of webinars covering different parts of the Lucid Meetings platform.
At the beginning of each webinar, we showed this pyramid that arranges the platform features into a sort of Maslow’s hierarchy of meeting essentials.
If you’re not familiar with Maslow’s theory, it can be summarized like this: before anyone can worry about advancing science, mastering the piano, or discovering their special purpose, they must take care of their basic safety and physical needs. They have to keep warm, to eat, and to sleep in a safe place.
You can think of the technology required to organize and run effective meetings in the same way. Every meeting has some basic features you need to support, like finding a time and setting up a call. Then, as the group starts to perform at a higher level, they need support for collaborating on the agenda and managing the meeting process. Finally, groups with a fully mature approach to running effective meetings need a way to collect feedback, monitor, and optimize their meeting processes.
Lucid Meeting’s goal is to make it easy for everyone in an organization to run consistently worthwhile meetings, whether those be simple ad-hoc meetings or more involved sessions, and the platform includes technology to support those meetings at every level of the pyramid. To keep each session reasonably short, we focused each one on a few key features, starting with the basics and moving our way up.
