TELECONFERENCE CLOCK METHOD |
Method designed to organize conference calls by regulating and facilitating the interaction between participants. The Teleconference Clock creates a speaking sequence for introducing each participant: people are given a place on the clock as a mechanism to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak. The “clock” is used to encourage participation on conference calls or structured online chats involving more than four people. [1] |

Preparing a Teleconference Clock
- Have an agenda that includes conference goals and participant expectations. Don’t forget to consider their time zones when scheduling.
- Consider the impact of comments volume (based on the number of participants) with the available time.
- Send all participants the dial-in number and pass-codes if needed. With international groups, be clear if the number is cost-free.
- Distribute supporting documents or files before the beginning of the conference call.
- Take care in advance of the call controls. If the leader controls the start/stop of the call and may have to leave early, have a second person with leader privileges in order to avoid call interruptions.
- Greet and know who is online (use the “clock" method for the introduction of each participant).
- Ask participants to review the agenda prior to the call.
