IDOARRT Meeting Design
IDOARRT is a structured approach to kick off meetings by clarifying the Intention, Desired Outcomes, Agenda, Roles, Rules, and Time. It ensures everyone starts with a shared understanding, promoting focus and efficiency.
Use IDOARRT at the beginning of any meeting or workshop to align participants, set expectations, and create a productive environment.
