Meeting Insights: go into the meeting ready

A calendar tells you when the conversation starts. Meeting Insights helps you consider how to approach it, using your own connected calendar and permitted profile context.

Colleagues listening and discussing their work around a table

Illustrative example · explore the steps

Know who is in the room.

Meeting Insights uses connected-calendar meetings and available personality context to help you prepare.

Availability depends on the connection and participant context.

Make space for different styles.

Think about how the people attending may prefer to contribute, ask questions or make decisions.

Preparation guidance, not a prediction.

Bring a more considered approach.

Take useful guidance into the meeting and adapt it to what people actually say.

The meeting itself belongs to the people in it.

Your calendar. Your preparation.

Connect your calendar and move through your meetings month by month. Outlook is the standard connection; Google Calendar is available where that connection is enabled and configured.

An available Meeting Insight uses event context and permitted attendee Personality profiles to help you prepare. Not every event has enough matching information for a brief.

Prepare the opening. Guide the discussion. Close clearly.

The brief can help you think about questions before the meeting, communication differences during it and the actions to make explicit afterwards. It supports your judgement; it cannot predict what another person will say.

An Organisation Admin or Team Lead cannot open another person’s calendar events or Meeting Insights. Being invited to a meeting does not give an attendee access to the calendar owner’s preparation.
