Why Are We Here

Establishing clear meeting expectations can dramatically improve meeting effectiveness.

The all-too-common response to receiving a meeting announcement is either a shaking of the head or rolling of one’s eyes or, perhaps, the utterance of an expletive following the statement of, “Oh no, not another meeting!”  In most organizations, these feelings are justified based on past experiences.  However, This situation can be addressed by implementing a few simple business practices.  These practices involve clearly stating the purpose of the meeting, the meeting’s goal or desired outcome, and the knowledge that some standard practices will be followed.
