Facilitated Meetings: Better results by bringing people together

Facilitated meetings are important events for team building, for understanding differences and for creating effective outcomes.

Options and flexibility for more effective meetings

With Qwaq Forums, facilitated virtual meetings are now a practical and effective means of bringing people together, requiring no travel. Meetings can be scheduled with more flexibility, while enabling attendees not to miss important work.

Being there

An important part of using Qwaq Forums for facilitated meetings is that Qwaq Forums supports many modes of communication, including non-verbal ones.

  • Avatars. Can be used as part of the essential “speech-gesture-sketch” communication modes needed for successful teamwork.
  • Built-in VoIP. A high bandwidth audio channel provides a richer voice experience than conference calling.
  • Text chat. Users share thoughts without interrupting the speaker.

Capturing ideas

Qwaq Forums has an array of built-in and optional functionality to bring out the best thinking in the team, stimulate the team with new ideas and encourage new ways of thinking about goals and solutions.

  • Interactive whiteboard. For sketching out ideas and communicating concepts.
  • Interactive Post-it-style notes. For recording ideas, brainstorming, and “voting” on topics.
  • Dynamically created break-out rooms. Facilitate additional working session among individuals or sub-teams.
  • Audio and video recordings of sessions. Qwaq helps you capture ideas and record them for follow-on discussion and post-meeting follow-up.
