Why MEETING EFFICIENCY?
There are good meetings and less good meetings. The less good ones seem to last forever, you never get to the point, and in the end you leave with a lot of questions. Effective meetings give you a sense of well-being and leave you feeling that you have accomplished something.
What makes a session effective? We can think of at least 3 things: Achieve the objectives of the meeting; take as little time as possible; allow participants to solve problems and find useful solutions.
