Term2.png 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

  1. Have an agenda that includes conference goals and participant expectations. Don’t forget to consider their time zones when scheduling.
  2. Consider the impact of comments volume (based on the number of participants) with the available time.
  3. Send all participants the dial-in number and pass-codes if needed. With international groups, be clear if the number is cost-free.
  4. Distribute supporting documents or files before the beginning of the conference call.
  5. 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.
  6. Greet and know who is online (use the “clock" method for the introduction of each participant).
  7. Ask participants to review the agenda prior to the call.
