The book focuses on three main areas: Dealing with the business and corporate cultural challenges in changing the way we meet Cutting out the unnecessary topics and participants that make up 50% of todays meetings Designing and running faster and more focused face to face and online meetings with more relevant content; clearer decisions and actions, and much higher levels of participation Full of examples and practical tools that will improve everything from your regular team meetings to management meetings, online conferences, global meetings and big events.
