Introduction
The Zoom Meeting simulation has been designed for team members to practise vital meeting skills, with the additional challenge of being physically separated.
The simulation can be undertaken in a traditional training environment or as a virtual exercise with team members in different locations and communication limited to email and video conferencing. In either case, the simulation gives team members an opportunity to practise vital meeting skills.
Running it as a virtual exercise brings learnings in how to improve your audio, video and lighting set up, how to behave on a Zoom call, and appropriate virtual meeting etiquette.
The comprehensive facilitated review of behaviours and achievements at the end of the meeting enables the team to extract and embed the learnings from the exercise.
There is sufficient content for a follow-up meeting to be held to practise the learnings revealed in the review, and further explore the issues related to managing an office re-opening.
Scenario
The team meeting has been called to discuss and decide arrangements for re-opening the office premises.
Currently, the organisation employs 50 staff. The board of directors have decided that, in response to economic forecasts, this number must be reduced by 25%. They are prepared to offer redundancy payments of £1,000 for each year of service, and pro rata. Statutory rights apply.
Health and safety considerations suggest that working spaces will have to be reorganised and that the maximum office capacity will be reduced to 28 workstations.
The team is required to decide a strategy for re-opening the office:
Decisions should support the long-term success of the organisation.

Objective
To demonstrate the need for structuring and controlling team meetings and to allow groups to practise meeting skills such as chairing, influencing, listening, consensus-seeking and decision-making.
The simulation has been designed for four to seven players. It can form part of a formal training programme – and is also suitable for a team to use as a self-administered exercise.
In addition, the exercise provides an opportunity to explore:
The post-meeting review
It is good practice for meetings to be followed by a short review of the processes and behaviours:
After a training session it is worth doing this analysis in more detail.
The Zoom Meeting pack includes a set of questions under these headings:
The reports for the meeting provide information about using technology for virtual meetings and webinars, including sound, lighting and behaviour.
In addition, the support papers and the discussion generated in the meeting give insights into how to handle redundancies and home-working.
These documents are for the use of the trainer/organiser and should not be automatically distributed to the participants.
These documents are to be sent to the participants with notice of the meeting and, if relevant, the Zoom link. Ideally, this will be at least the day before. If the exercise is part of a training workshop they may be distributed at the start of the exercise; in which case allow 30 minutes to study them before the start of the meeting.
