All meetings are cancelled

16 May 2013 0 By Viv McWaters

Do you go to a lot of meetings?

Luckily I no longer work in an organisation where I have to go to meetings. Most often, my meetings happen at a cafe or over Skype. I know people who spend most of their working day at meetings. Like everything, these meetings vary from the mundane to the significant. Work gets done, decisions are made, plans developed, negotiations held, alliances formed, information shared. Or not.

I wonder what would happen if we cancelled existing meetings and were forced to find another way?

Or have meetings become so ubiquitous that it’s hard to think of any other way?
