Meetings are an important part of business but their true purpose and effectiveness should be examined. Preparation and understanding different perspectives are key. Questions are raised about the goals, facts versus fiction discussed, roles of attendees, and whether the right issues are being addressed in the right way. The cost of meetings in both time and money also warrants review to ensure an acceptable return on investment.
