БЭП 127 – English Meetings: Обсуждать проблему (2)

This second part of a two-part Деловой английский подкаст series on running and participating in a problem-solving meeting.

In the first part of this meeting (see BEP 126), the team spent time answering the question: “What является эта проблема?” In today’s episode, we’re going to focus on how to brainstorm solutions to a problem through discussion, how to evaluate and eliminate suggestions and then agree a plan of action.

Kathryn, руководитель отдела кадров в компании среднего размера, is meeting with department heads to discuss a problem they are having with low staff morale. The team has identified the root cause of the problem as the separation of staff across 3 different office locations.

Kathryn wants everyone to critique the ideas that the group has brought forward, in order to eliminate impractical suggestions. We’ll see how she confirms the best solution and how her team suggests points for action. Когда начинается диалог, Kathryn closes the brainstorming session and sums up the input that has been received.
