Length and value of business meetings


Meetings. Ever present for most in some shape or form, yet commonly ineffective and disliked by the majority. Why?

  • Why do they default to an hour?
  • Do we need a full hour to discuss the agenda items and make decisions? That is of course, if you get an agenda ahead of time.
  • Do they need to take place every week?
  • Do we need to have 17 of them to discuss the same thing over the past 6 months?
  • Are the decision makers present? If not, why not?
As you can tell, there are so many questions about how and why we meet and what is the value that is expected to come out of them as a result of that invested time, effort and energy.
