How long is it since you came out of a meeting saying, ‘That was great, I’m really looking forward to the next one!’? That may sound extreme but perhaps you get the point. The vast majority of meetings are regarded as being a waste of time and that’s the problem. There is an opportunity cost to spending time; time spent on one thing can’t be used it for something else. If you look at every meeting as an investment of talent and organisational time, why is it that so very few meetings deliver the value of outcome that the investment demands? Chairing Effective Meetings focuses on the disciplines, the skills and the techniques involved in setting up, running and participating in meetings in order to ensure they deliver results that reflect the value of the participants’ time. Very soon, people will look forward to meetings because their presence actually counts.
