Optimizing meetings is possible

More than 30 minutes is an eternity, what you cannot say in 20 will not be heard and more than once a day encourages unproductiveness. Three data that corroborate how useless most meetings are . As paradoxical as it may seem, this is the case and companies have already set their sights on it. And of course, App developers too. Just counting companies in the UK, Australia and the US, the losses generated by excess meetings exceed $ 800 billion , according to a study recently published by the corporate software company Atlassian . And to combat it, the company Gamelearn proposes an App that, basically, is a fun game that will help us better control and manage meeting times . “Reunionitis is a disease that corrodes organizations,” he affirmed in statements to the newspaper La Vanguardia , Ibrahim Jabary CEO of this Spanish company that has developed Brilliant Meeting , the App that allows its users to manage and monitor in real time all the processes surrounding a meeting; either before, during or after . Experts in e-learning programs have managed to put together a complete App that, based on motivational techniques, makes a meeting generally shorter and, above all, more efficient . Brilliant Meeting takes the form of a multiplatform tool (computer, tablet, smartphone) that is capable of indicating in real time the cost of the meeting (calculated from the average salary of its members), helping to maintain the focus of agreed topics, encourage decision-making and, finally, show the results in the form of a minute that is generated automatically. In other words, offers all the data to evaluate the performance of a meeting and the loss of time and money that may have been incurred in the event of not reaching any type of decision . And of course, as in any game, the best comes at the end. After a meeting, the App provides certain useful tips to improve subsequent meetings and awards prizes in the form of rewards and medals to users based on whether or not they have met their goals. All these awards are displayed in a leaderboard in which both the co-workers themselves and members of other companies appear. Who will be the winner? Are you interested? Well, pay attention to the “bad news”. Brilliant Meeting cannot be downloaded from any of the markets. Focused on large companies, this application is offered under license or, as a consolation, use its web version at a subscription price of 4 euros per month.
