The meeting types and structures used in Meeting Blueprint are based on research and frameworks developed by Lucid Meetings.
Their comprehensive article "The 16 Types of Business Meetings" provides a detailed taxonomy of meeting structures organized by purpose, interaction style, and relationship dynamics.
The framework organizes meetings into three main categories:
Cadence Meetings - Regular meetings that keep teams aligned (status updates, planning sessions, team reviews)
Catalyst Meetings - One-time meetings that drive specific outcomes (workshops, decision-making sessions, problem-solving)
Context Meetings - Meetings focused on information sharing and relationship building (announcements, training, networking)
We are grateful to Lucid Meetings for their pioneering work in meeting science and for making their research accessible. Their framework has been instrumental in helping organizations design more effective meetings.
All meeting types, outcome mappings, and template structures in this application are derived from their published research.
