Question

How to find a better balance between meeting time and client-oriented work?

Problem description

The meeting time. There are already many meeting times during a working week: FACT board consultation, intervision, meetings, recovery plan discussion, etc. Moreover, these meetings are highly structured consultation moments with clear targets

Impact - effect

This is not only influencing the number of hours that can be spend to direct client-oriented work.  Because of structured and targeted character of these meetings there is just not much time left for a team member to introduce some issues to discuss.  This could be about positive news about a client, that often remains out of sight because the structural meeting are mainly problem solving oriented and usually reserved to the clients on the FACT-board.

To do

To do: we wish to introduce structural moments, outside the framework of the classic meeting moments, where team members can take time to present findings that are important for them.  For example, “doing the lap” before the FACT-board meeting
