How many meetings did you attend so far this week?
You've probably been in at least one. What was it? A stand up? An all-team meeting? An alignment meeting?
And was it useful? Kinda boring? A waste of your time? All talk and no action?
You're not alone. In fact, if you look at the existing research, the numbers are staggering.
Businesses waste $399 billion annually on unproductive meetings, with employees spending 11.3 hours per week in pointless discussions. Recent research shows only 11% of meetings actually drive results, whilst 71% are considered completely unproductive.
A Microsoft research showed that the average worker gets interrupted 275 times per day. Almost once every two minutes.
That alone is enough to drive anyone crazy! But there’s a better way.
I've sat in more meetings than I dare count. I've looked at the most blatant offenders of what can cause these BS meetings. I've personally made all these mistakes. I still make them and have to constantly remind myself that there's a better way. So I've distilled my experience into a practical checklist that separates effective accessibility meetings from complete time-wasters. This isn't theoretical fluff. It's what helps teams ship accessible products instead of adding to the 24 billion hours lost annually to meeting waste.
I've put together a free Effective Accessibility Meetings Checklist just for the occasion.
It'll help you say no to endless discussions and meetings about meetings. I want to help you drill down to what it means to have meetings where the end result is clear action that moves your product forward.
It'll soon be available as a free download. Subscribe to the email list below and get it as soon as it's available.
