    Chairman: I’d like to open today’s meeting. Kevin? 
    Kevin: First, I’ll quickly go over the main points of the last meeting. 

    (After discussing about last meeting.) 

    Chairman: If no one has anything to add, let’s move on to today’s agenda. 
    Kevin: I suggest we each give a little background on the suggestions we discussed last week. 

    Chairman: Could you repeat that, please? 
    Kevin: Let’s start by going over the research you’ve done on the suggestions. 

    Chairman: You’ll find most of the information outlined in the summary documents in front of you. 
    Kevin: These figures are interesting. It’s clear to me that customer communications are not working as they should. 

    Chairman: Yes, our marketing efforts really haven’t been effective to date. 
    Kevin: I suggest we break up into groups and discuss how we can improve our message. 

    Chairman: Unfortunately, we’re almost out of time. I suggest you submit your ideas on marketing and we can discuss it by next week.
