The full meeting toolchest is a comprehensive selection of tools and techniques to support good facilitation of better meetings. But a large selection can prove a bit overwhelming to someone just starting out. For this reason we limit what is offered in the basic section of the site. However, the full set is freely available – simply click on the advanced tab at the top of the page. And this will give you full access.

If you have not yet done so, take a look at the pages on thinking differently. We hope that this may provide a new context for the tools and techniques you are using.

There are always new ideas emerging and so we would also encourage you to subscribe to our blog.
