Every day there are meetings in your company. But how much does this actually cost Considering that any meeting spawns more meetings!
The distractor
People who have their own agenda
Won't stop talking about their thing wether it is relevant now or not
Questions the meeting itself
Hates the meeting. Feels unheard
The quiet one
Introverts trying to hide
Might have brilliant ideas but doesn't dare speak up
Wait for their turn to never come
Hates the meeting. Had to speak.
The meeting leader
Meeting organiser
Prepared an agenda only to see it shredded after 5 mins.
Tries to navigate politics in the room
Hates the meeting as nothing is ever achieved
If you want to change that and have meetings that deliver, produce outcomes and not more meetings, then fill in the form below or check out my B2B trainings on facilitation.
A facilitator can make meetings between 30% and 50% more effective.
Lets be honest here - Facilitators are not magicians
Meetings will become more effective but not every meeting needs a facilitator and not every facilitated meeting will be so amazing that it delivers what is expected. That is the nature of things sometimes thing go wrong even for teh best of us. But, if your team is trained in facilitation, you could have 50% less follow up meetings, less people who quite because they cant take it anymore and a lot les productivity loss.
750,000€ wasted
Organisations with 100 employees+, waste up to €750,000 annually on unproductive meetings
92% of participants multitask instead of engaging
71% of senior managers find meetings unproductive
15% of organizational time produces nothing
Why: Because the organiser is often not the best person to lead the meeting.
Transformation fail
70-90% of organisational change initiatives fail to achieve their objectives
Only 10.5% of German SMEs adopted AI successfully
70-90% of mergers fail (30% due to cultural issues)
Organizations hire consultants without building capability
Why: No one really knows how to lead through change by engaging employees
