Meet Better

A Bit of Math

What percentage of your working time is spent in meetings—both virtual and face-to-face, scheduled and unscheduled?
What percentage of time do your colleagues and employees spend in meetings?
AIf a modest 50% of your time is spent in meetings, how much cost does this represent per employee, per year? How much time and cost could you save annually if you could reduce this time by even 5%?

Reality Check

Are you confident that the meetings you attend or run virtually regularly produce value for you and the organization?
Are the meetings that you experience reliably efficient and effective—and simultaneously attractive enough to elicit the full engagement of all participants?
Can you name which steps are taken to invite the multiple perspectives necessary to solve complex problems, develop innovative solutions, or make sound decisions?
To what extent would you say that the results of your meetings are adequately implemented?
