agenda

Schedule

If we are on the space shuttle’s return flight to Earth from the International Space Station, being on time for departure is paramount. Staying on schedule for a meeting agenda is a choice. If meeting participants are involved in a transformative conversation but time suggests a shift to another topic, making the transition is a decision. How might we use a human-centered mindset to determine when the shift is appropriate? Otherwise, we are elevating the agenda’s significance to the same as a space shuttle launch?
