Organisations use meetings of all kinds for a variety of reasons, e.g.
* governance - a democratic framework for decision-making
* they give legitimacy to decisions by gaining agreement from interested parties
* they enable participation of stakeholders
* they are a discussion and debating forum where a range of viewpoints can be considered
* for consultation - brainstorming, think tanks
* as a bargaining and negotiating forum
* to sanction of rules, laws and their operation
* as a forum for dealing with 'litigation'
* as a forum for monitoring and reviewing.
A well organised meeting can achieve consultation with key people in a short time, much more quickly than individual consultation. The agreement of those people can be gained and they can collectively take ownership of the decision reached.
