Practical examples

By the time the meeting began, the team had already reviewed three proposals. We had rejected the first because its schedule was unrealistic. The second offered more flexibility, but the supplier had not confirmed the final cost. We therefore spent most of the meeting discussing the third option. A colleague who had missed the earlier discussion asked us to explain our reasoning. Once we had summarised the background, everyone could contribute more effectively.

بحلول بدء الاجتماع، كان الفريق قد راجع ثلاثة مقترحات بالفعل. كنا قد رفضنا الأول لأن جدوله الزمني غير واقعي. وفر الثاني مرونة أكبر، لكن المورد لم يكن قد أكد التكلفة النهائية. لذلك، أمضينا معظم الاجتماع في مناقشة الخيار الثالث. طلب منا زميل فاتته المناقشة السابقة أن نشرح أسبابنا. بعد أن لخصنا الخلفية، تمكن الجميع من المشاركة بفاعلية أكبر.
