The Management Committee is the operational management body of a company.
In principle, it brings together the General Manager and the Functional Directors every week and its main mission is to take all decisions relating to the daily operation of the company in the short and medium term. It therefore plays a key role in the survival of the company.
Seminars are considered to be real management tools and contribute significantly to the development of an entrepreneurial spirit.
Bringing the Executive Committee together at a seminar can be a good way to revitalize this hub of any organization.
Executive seminars should be considered as real steering and management tools. But in order to make such meetings profitable, it is essential to clearly determine the objective of the seminar.
This is all the more important as it is based on the expected results that we will decide whether to stick only to the Management Committee or to extend it to other employees.
Indeed, it is not always certain that only top management is sufficient to deal with major strategic issues.
It is also important to distinguish this type of meeting from the weekly Executive Committee meeting. The latter allows the manager to quickly review the missions managed by his direct collaborators, to feed back information between them and to schedule the work.
On the other hand, a seminar will make it possible to take stock of the overall situation of the company, to define new objectives, and to take strategic decisions.
The executive seminar is therefore the appropriate time to take a step back, to break away from the daily routine and the hustle and bustle of the office in order to rethink the future, considering how far we have come.
Weekly meeting
Executive seminar
Early July is a good time for such a seminar, which can be an opportunity to review the performance of the first half of the year and to prepare for the second half.
Apart from the predefined frequency, it may be necessary to meet in a seminar when an important step is about to be taken, when an important change is being prepared, or when the company is going through a phase of difficulty.
Indeed, contrary to popular belief, the impending crisis is not a reason to cancel or give up organizing a Management Committee seminar.
Rather, it is the ideal time for strategic thinking in order to ask the right questions:
A Management Committee seminar is neither a blocked internship nor a paid leave. It is necessary to find the right balance between relaxation and time for reflection, both essential for the success of the seminar.
The aim is to promote creativity, communication and cohesion between managers. A team building activity, a sporting or cultural activity can well meet this need.
In general, the location chosen should be conducive to creativity and communication. A quiet, comfortable and original place. Here too, the objective plays a decisive role in the choice of location.
If the objective is to strengthen cohesion, it will be appropriate to choose a somewhat fun or quirky environment. If, on the other hand, the emphasis is on strategy, a more traditional place will suffice.
