In addition to 90% of people daydreaming in meetings, Dr Donald Wetmore, founder of the Productivity Institute provides these facts:

1. •60% of meeting attendees take notes to appear as if they are listening
   

2. •Managers spend over 10 hours a week in meetings, and the majority say more than half that time is wasted
   

3. •90% of managers attributed the failure of most meetings to "lack of advanced planning and organisation"
   

4. •And over three-quarters indicated that they “received no formal training on how to conduct a meeting”
   

What is really surprising is that these facts are not surprising

The evaluation of meetings undertaken by ProMeet show, on average, organisations meetings are 60% unproductive, with further erosion of meeting productivity occurring because of poor meeting culture. This can be easily measured, and has high financial, human, and organisational costs.

Historical precedent, the nearly total pervasiveness of poor meeting habits and the failure of leadership development to address this problem are the reasons that poor leadership takes place where it counts and that bad meetings are rife.

As one of our clients so insightfully put it: “ProMeet is better than shit meet”. Levent, thank you, we agree, which is why we have designed, tested and proven, a much better model of leadership and meeting method.

Bad meetings are a waste of time, money and vitality, and an inditement of leadership.

Our services provide fast and cost effective relief from meetings where you’d be better off having a kip.
