Woods- meetings take place outside the usual office atmosphere in a pleasant environment where participants cannot be disturbed by phone calls, etc. Such a meeting may be necessary, for example, when the project has stalled, when employees are emotionally agitated, etc. Woods meetings are usually held in conference hotels and are extremely costly, therefore require meticulous organization. If you want to use the meeting to resolve internal conflicts, you should hire an external facilitator. Likewise, hierarchy should be kept out of all meetings. In consultation with the participants, it may also make sense to document the event. (Source: Mehrmann/Wirtz)
