Subject field(s)
  • Meetings and Assemblies (Administration)
DEF

A short period before the actual activity (e.g. verbal or motor learning) is begun, which produces an introductory set and adaptation to the task, without direct reinforcement....

CONT

It is very important to make the participants feel at home. What is done in the opening minutes often determines the tempo of the whole meeting. Will there be some sort of a warm-up session, will everyone be introduced, just how will the "ice be broken?"

CONT

Si la réunion a lieu le matin lorsque les participants arrivent frais et dispos, il vaut mieux, après une courte phase de mise en train [...] attaquer directement le sujet principal en réservant quelques instants de la fin pour traiter les sujets secondaires [...]

OBS

Avant une séance de sport, on pratique un échauffement approprié. Pourquoi en irait-il autrement d'une réunion qui [...] représente un effort intense? Cette mise en train peut être confondue avec les présentations lorsque celles-ci constituent déjà un exercice d'expression ou de communication.
