FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 8:15am – 9:30am –
Meetings are an essential part of business, promoting opportunities for collaboration, decision-making, and strategy development. However, as the workplace continues to evolve, so do the patterns and impacts of these meetings. In 2024, we see many trend shifts where the frequency, format, and effectiveness of meetings are under constant scrutiny, prompting businesses to reassess their meeting cultures.
According to a study by Harvard Business Review, executives spend an average of 23 hours a week in meetings and 71% of senior managers said that meetings are unproductive and inefficient.
The case of having fewer, more effective meetings in the modern workplace cannot be overstated, while well-planned and necessary meetings can significantly enhance decision-making and collaboration.
Our September CEO Peer Group meeting will discuss ideas on having a more productive workplace by identifying unnecessary meetings, implementing alternatives, and maximize efficiency.
