Facilitating High Stakes Meetings
Recent Studies Show:
-
73% did other work in meetings
-
Up to half of all corporate meetings are considered a waste of time
-
91% of people acknowledge that they daydreamed during meetings
-
Less than half of managers can identify where the company is going
-
28% of meetings include the wrong people or include folks who should not be there
All of this shifts the focus away from the real issues you need solved.
Are you tired of rambling meetings that don’t meet the goal? Are you struggling to reach consensus with diverse or disparate stakeholders on complex issues that need action? Are hidden agendas derailing alignment? Do people agree and then do something different outside the room?
Research shows that middle managers spend about 35% of their time in meetings, and in upper management, it is often a whopping 50%. What’s worse is that up to 50% of meetings are considered a waste of time.
Effectively orchestrated high stakes meetings ensure that intended outcomes are achieved for good, regardless of how complex the issues are or how divergent the stakeholders. We have facilitated thousands of meetings globally at every level, from board retreats, executive alignment and business planning, to helping teams find their groove. Whether it’s aligning around the future state, common strategy or customer experience, brainstorming new products, conference facilitation or project management, LeaderShift® meetings get results without the fluff.
We create alignment so you can achieve your
objectives through more effective meetings.
Leaders understand the power of a well-executed meeting or off-site AND the risks, cost, and frustration of the alternative.
