A survey has found that more than 70% of meetings are ineffective, largely due to behavioural factors rather than flaws in systems and processes. Despite this, a significant number of companies appear to lack the necessary mechanisms to gauge and manage the overall effectiveness of their meetings.
There has never been a better time or space to address business meetings. This is according to The Meeting Company CEO, Mark Kayser.
He says without proper tools and quantitative metrics for gauging meeting efficacy, it becomes challenging to measure the success of organisational meetings: “After all, fixing what isn’t measured can be a difficult task.”
The Meeting Company is poised to reshape the landscape of corporate collaboration. Introducing an innovative meeting behavioural solution, the company addresses the root cause of inefficiency in meetings – group behavioural dynamics.
Positioning itself as the next big leap in business technology, The Meeting Company’s behavioural analytic technology with advanced psychometrics is redefining and optimising meetings, promising to contribute positively to business goals. This new approach tackles the often overlooked, the impact of ineffective meetings and their drain on people.
The majority of meetings do not achieve their purpose. This is a mind-boggling statistic considering the vital role meetings play in decision-making, collaboration and innovation. Imagine the colossal waste of time, money and emotional energy involved in these unproductive gatherings.
Kayser says this is the glaring problem that The Meeting Company aims to solve with its solution – a solution to transform the way businesses approach meetings
