A conference can accomplish much more than this, including improving attitudes, methods and procedures; solving problems and inspiring confidence and achieving a unity of purpose.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Réunions et assemblées (Administration)
  • Dynamique des groupes
CONT

Il n'y a pas de réunions possibles si tous ne sont pas d'accord pour travailler ensemble dans le sens des mêmes objectifs : (...) le consensus (...) est parfois acquis et implicite, les personnes n'ayant aucune raison de ne pas accepter de rechercher ensemble les moyens d'atteindre un objectif commun.

OBS

Le terme anglais "purpose" se rend généralement en français par "but", "finalité", "objet". Le but a un caractère un peu lointain et global; l'objectif est plus clair, plus précis, plus proche (cf. LEREU, 1983, p. 17 et 51). Quant au terme français "objectif", il correspond le plus souvent à l'anglais "objective".
