“We spend so much time in wasteful meetings, we’ve nicked our company, “JM”; just meetings.”
                                                    – An unnamed client, before Meeting Effectiveness Program

Nearly every corporate meeting we’ve observed could be much more effectively designed and led. Imagine how much productivity gain you could realize from even a small gain in this area

The Business Case	The Solution	Expected Results
What is the measurable productivity gain if everyone in your company spent 50% less time in meetings while improving the action-focus in the remaining time? Too often, meetings are an organization’s most under-performing asset – reinforcing egos and political agendas, giving extroverts airtime, and wasting people’s time. Commonly practiced meeting behaviors are: • “Free-for-all” or rambling discussions which lead nowhere • No pre-established goal or agenda • Decisions which are repeatedly postponed • Little or no follow-up or clear action plans	J&S has a proven approach for turning 50% of your people’s work time into an effective problem-solving environment. Not only has this approach saved companies hundreds of hours in productivity, it drives innovation, employee engagement, and faster decision-making. Meeting Effectiveness targets the following objectives: • Build facilitative leadership skill • Teach tools for developing shared expectations and accountability • Provide a simple decision making model to ensure more meetings end with decisions • Create meeting room environments that work for group collaboration • Establish a measurement process for meeting accountability • Improve “conference calls” and long-distance meetings	• A high-performing meeting culture with shorter and fewer meetings • More engaged participation in the meetings you do have • Timely decision making and increased action
