Improving Meeting Quality

The Growing Importance for Quality Meetings – Every Time

THE TIME IS RIGHT … to improve organizational performance is by enhancing employees’ ability to plan and run better meetings … BECAUSE:

• Successful teams … need successful meetings: “As teamwork and cross-organizational projects increase, meetings become the setting in which much of the really important work gets done. Now more than ever team and organizational success is reliant on the quality of its meetings”. From “Death by Meeting” by Peter Lencioni.

• Managing Time as a Resource: One of the biggest complaints of employees is they do not have enough time to get their work done. Ineffective meetings are often cited as the biggest time waster. Studies from the Wall Street Journal show that 30% to 65% of a manager’s time is spent in meetings, with almost 40% of the meetings characterized as generally unproductive and a waste of resources.

Today, everyone who leads and manages people needs to understand how meeting technologies may lead to quantum leaps in quality meetings. Knowing how to use them can elevate meeting participant thinking effectiveness (thinking faster … more innovatively … more productively) and lead to reducing time spent in meetings while significantly improving meeting results.
