Meeting rooms fail in predictable ways. The people who needed to talk to each other sat at opposite ends, the person presenting had half the room behind them, and the two departments who are mid-argument ended up side by side.

Pick the shape for the job. A U-shape faces everybody in, which is what you want for a discussion. Rows fit more people and point them all at the screen, which is what you want for a briefing. Pods turn the same room into working groups without moving the furniture twice.

Then set the rules that actually matter: this team together, those two apart. Print the plan, print name cards for the desks if it is a room of strangers, and get on with the meeting. The attendee list never leaves your computer, which is worth knowing when it is a client roster.

Ways to use it

U-shape for anything with discussion

Everyone faces in and can see everyone else, which is the whole reason the shape exists.

Rows when somebody is presenting

If the room is watching a screen, rows put more people in the same space and everybody faces the right way.

Pods for workshops

Pods of four or six turn a room into working groups without moving any furniture twice.

Keep the right people together

Seat a team at the same pod, or keep two departments apart, and the arrangement holds while you tinker.
