How Do You Pull Off a Creative Meeting?

I’m trying to spend the last few days of 2012 talking through some systems that can help a lot of people. So I’m going to need your help to answer some questions to help some people that might be struggling through these systems.

For me, creative meetings are really important to develop a sense of team for your programming. I’ve always struggled to find a good structure for these meetings so your feedback is huge.

Here are some things that I’ve heard from others:

1. Weekly schedule

These meetings are a chance to go over the schedule for the week that is upcoming. A chance to go over all the small details of the week including transitions, videos, illustrations, game, worship, etc.

It’s important for us to go over these details every week but I’m just wondering if this meeting is the best place to do that.

2. Creative Planning

For some this is a chance to ask “what if” in order to make services have more POP or WOW. It’s a chance to ask big questions and come out with some really creative ideas to push your point forward.

I’m wondering how far out this is planned and how much say do the people in the meeting have. Do they have the ability to change your message or just creative elements?

3. Planning a long way out

I’ve heard of others that are planning 8 weeks out! That seems crazy awesome! But how do you get to this point?
