There is one activity in every company that:

• Impacts every employee,
• Consumes 30% of employees’ time on average, and up to 80% of an executives’ day,
• Drives the success or failure of all collaborative work.

This is an enormous investment. And yet, most companies provide zero training and have no systems in place to ensure a return on all this time.

Yes, it’s meetings.
