Tools to Build Better Meetings — One Pillar at a Time
Principles without practice are just good intentions.
That's why the MX movement isn't just a manifesto — it's a toolbox.
The MX Toolkit provides resources for facilitators, meeting designers, team leads, and organizational change agents who want to reimagine how meetings actually happen.
Some tools are ready. Others are evolving. All are crafted to bring the 12 Pillars of MX to life in real rooms (and Zooms).
Let's build the future of meetings — together.
Each tool is listed with a brief description, its status, and the pillars it supports.
