 What's the difference between a workshop and a meeting? Well, in a meeting, everyone sits together and people talk and they try to solve problems and it's a bit open and who's speaking is not really clear and in general a meeting is something where just a group comes together and they talk but there's not necessarily an actionable outcome even if the idea was to have an actionable outcome. The difference between a meeting and a workshop is a workshop is a facilitated session meaning that one person is controlling the conversation step by step and using exercises to help a group get to a specific end goal. So before you start a workshop, you always have a very specific end goal and the facilitator builds out the exercises to get to that end goal whereas in a meeting it's a lot more open and it's not really one person clearly in charge of directing the conversation but if you really want to get big things done or make big decisions or solve big problems then a workshop is a better structure for that.
