If you think you have a meeting problem at your organization, you’re not alone. While it's impossible to pinpoint a specific number, it's clear that many organizations in the U.S. are struggling with meeting effectiveness. Here are some of the dominant complaints that we hear.

• Meetings are a waste of time. Many organizations have meetings that consume a large amount of employee time, often with little or no tangible results.

• Meetings cost money. Unproductive meetings can lead to significant financial losses for organizations, with estimates ranging in the billions of dollars, annually.

• Meetings are pointless. Many employees point out that a significant portion of meetings are poor quality because they lack structure, clear objectives, focused discussion.

• Meetings impact productivity. Because meetings are happening too often, and end up being unproductive, employees feel like their individual productivity is impacted as well. It’s difficult for them to focus on their core tasks, because death-by-meetings happens to them every day.
