Scenario: You see the articles that state businesses waste $100 million on unproductive meetings a year.
Default Option: You nod along and say “I can see that” and then start thinking of all the meetings you felt were a waste of your time and that you only partially paid attention during. (Maybe you’re in one right now).
A HMMM Option: Then you ask yourself “wow, why are meetings like this?” So you use a Continuous Improvement exercise, the 5 whys, to identify the root cause of why meetings are so unproductive. You reflect on this visual and decide to start planning your meetings to have a purpose and engagement.
