A recent study in The Times reported what most of us know already. We are spending way too much time in meetings talking about doing things that we could actually be doing instead…If only we weren’t in a meeting talking about it.

Ask yourself:

Which meetings in your working week do you look forward to, enjoy and find a really productive use of your time?

How many times have you been in a meeting and thought a decision could have been better made with fewer people and/or on the phone or via a 1:1 discussion

Research in the US showed that lost productivity from ineffective meetings costs business up to $283 billion per year
