The Problem

Over the past 30 years, virtually every business function has seen dramatic increases in productivity through the introduction of transformational technology.  Accounting departments once populated with calculators and ledgers now use spreadsheets and bookkeeping software. Sales teams, once driven by rolodexes and sales charts, now rely on CRM and sales force automation software.
Supply chain management, computer aided design, word processing… the list goes on.

Despite all these process improvements and technological innovations, one critical business activity hasn't changed at all… meetings!

Meetings are everywhere… impacting every part of every organization.  Meetings are the building blocks of business… where information is conveyed, ideas are generated, decisions are made, action items assigned and reviewed... and it's where we spend most of our work time.

Numerous studies have shown that managers and knowledge workers spend 30 to 70% of their time in meetings, with senior management spending the most time on average.

And yet... meetings are run the same way today that they were 50 years ago!  As a result, ineffective and inefficient business meetings waste precious financial and people resources at an astounding rate.
