Discussions!!

I just started a discussion series around my team for discussion upon general testing. Lets jump directly to the minutes of first discussion:

(BTW it includes 4 testers in team and the manager common to Dev and Testing, Testers experience range in testing is 3-15 years)

1. Me: Start with "WHY this meeting?".
2. Manager: Draw the diagram of your "why". It's pretty difficult. 
3. Manager: Broaden your outlook. We, as testers , are less creative. We are like a cow, just walking in a circle.
4. Tester 1: It was around the "Broaden outlook" point. We always move in same tunnel. never come out and see from outside.
5. Tester2: He was more around Process improvement. Including testers in some decisions. A better test plan. 
6. Tester 3: Share knowledge. Learn something new in each meeting.
7. Tester4(me): Peer feedback. 2 pair of eyes are better than 1 pair of eye. 

I am not sure this are appropriate answers to the questions "Why this meeting?". 3,4,5 look like some good answers, but yeah with these discussions, we can improve in other areas too.

We need to have separate meetings for :

1. "peer feedback" on testing,
2. Share knowledge

After these points, meeting went to random discussions. Like, compulsory automation, etc.

I think meeting was useful in terms of at least starting discussions. Need to put it into effect.
