Effective committees: a contradiction in terms?
Because of the nature of committees, evaluating their effectiveness is highly subjective. The ultimate test is whether the group is able to arrive at good solutions and decisions which can be implemented. Author Robert Travis, M.B.A., looks at three actual committees, offering reasons for the success or failure of each, and then gives several pointers on creating effective committees.
