High Performance Meetings

How to set up and run meetings to create business value in an efficient way

Managers in today's world of work tend to spend more than half of their working time in meetings without questioning this time on their value contribution in the decision-making process. To counteract this trend, Porsche Consulting has developed a framework for High Performance Meetings: This approach makes it possible to quickly aggregate and analyze data with the help of the "MeetA" tool that has been developed. This allows you to systematically examine your own meeting organization and actively analyze it in terms of structure, as well as efficiency and effectiveness. Thus, an optimal number as well as a sustainable increase of the quality of meetings can be achieved.

55 

million meetings are held in the US every day.

75% 

of the time of managers is spent in planned meetings.

34%

of manager meetings are considered unproductive or unnecessary.
