Marvellous meetings

There’s plenty of bleating about meetings but that doesn’t mean you have to follow the sheep. Discover how to make your meetings more popular than the royal wedding.

Research shows that 50% of the time we spend in meetings is unproductive. For many, this works out at four wasted working days every month, quite apart from the energy sapping experience of sitting through another irrelevant PowerPoint presentation.

And yet many of our best times are spent talking with other people, often colleagues, about issues that matter at work.

Meetings should be a driving source of insight and momentum that generate passion and spark brilliant new ideas. With more precision, less routine, clearer boundaries and a steady hand on the agenda, you can make sure they are.

At the end of the Go large you will have:

  • Appreciated the degree to which you currently operate on meeting autopilot.
  • Decided how to achieve some of your goals without even needing a meeting.
  • Discovered what you can do and what to avoid so your meeting always delivers what’s needed, usually in next to no time.
  • Experienced simple ways to bring verve and energy to the dullest of topics.
