Lacked focus or structure ? Left you wondering why you, in particular, were invited ? Or seemed totally unnecessary and produced no result ? If your answer to any of these questions is no, you must live alone on a desert island or in a mountaintop cave. Most businesspeople would readily agree that meetings are the bane of their existence, leading the list of top time wasters. The good news is that technological advances, such as e - mail, video conferences and online conferencing, are saving time by reducing the number of face - to - face confabs it takes to make decisions, conclude transactions and participate in projects. E - mail, for example, provides the ability to put detailed information ranging from spreadsheets to three - dimensional airplane parts in front of widely scattered individuals quickly and simultaneously, hold multiparty conversations and reach consensus promptly, with minimal effort and disruption to the daily work routine. Microsoft is a well-documented example of a company that uses e - mail to reduce the number of meetings in all areasincluding mergers and acquisitions, employee performance reviews and crisis response. It is working on technology that will enable all 26,000 of its employees worldwide to attend virtual employee meetings. Boeing used its digital infrastructure to design the 777 aircraft from start to finish, a five - year undertaking that involved up to 30,000 people worldwide. Information technology enabled geographically dispersed team members to view and discuss three - dimensional elements of the design simultaneously and make decisions quickly without meeting in person or even shipping documents. Regardless of how we put our heads togetherliterally or virtuallyit makes sense to ensure that the time devoted to this activity is well spent. Efficient, effective meetings are rooted in discipline and effort on the part of meeting initiators, managers and participants alike. Most business people play all three of these roles over the course of a yearand sometimes within a day. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
