BEP 126 – Solving Problems

In this lesson from the new edition of our English for Meetings e-Book and app, we look at how to structure and participate in a successful problem solving meeting.

One of the most common reasons for holding a meeting is to solve a problem. But, while we might have the right people at the meeting, the process is often flawed because one question hasn’t clearly been asked and answered: “What is the problem?” So, in this lesson we’re going to focus on how to define the problem through discussion and then restate the problem as a challenge.
