This second part of a two-part بودكاست اللغة الإنجليزية للأعمال series on running and participating in a problem-solving meeting.
In the first part of this meeting (see BEP 126), the team spent time answering the question: “What يكون المشكلة?” In today’s episode, we’re going to focus on how to brainstorm solutions to a problem through discussion, how to evaluate and eliminate suggestions and then agree a plan of action.
Kathryn, رئيس قسم الموارد البشرية في شركة متوسطة الحجم, is meeting with department heads to discuss a problem they are having with low staff morale. The team has identified the root cause of the problem as the separation of staff across 3 different office locations.
Kathryn wants everyone to critique the ideas that the group has brought forward, in order to eliminate impractical suggestions. We’ll see how she confirms the best solution and how her team suggests points for action. كما يبدأ الحوار, Kathryn closes the brainstorming session and sums up the input that has been received.

I noticed that there is confusion between Paul and Paula. The narrator refers to Paula while the speaker is clearly male (بول).
@James, we fixed this in the transcripts a long time ago but the audio is harder to fix. We’ll probably redo the 126-127 debriefs at some point, but for now it’s a minor distraction.
