Recently, a major corporation reported that in their base country alone, 25 million hours were spent in meetings. Half of those hours were wasted. Even at UK minimum wage, that's at least £140 million in waste. (Considering that the average meeting attendant is at the management level or higher, that figure is a very low estimate.) So how do you reduce waste and make your meetings more efficient? Take this workshop to find out !
