Optimizing meetings is possible

More than 30 minutes is an eternity, what you can't say in 20 minutes won't be heard and saying it more than once a day encourages unproductivity. Three facts that corroborate How useless most meetings are. Paradoxically, this is the case and companies have already set their sights on it. And of course, app developers have too.

Just counting companies in the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States, the losses generated by excessive meetings exceed $800 billion, according to a study recently published by the corporate software company Atlassian. And to combat it the company Gamelearn offers us an App that, at its core, is a fun game that will help us better control and manage meeting times.

“Meetingitis is a disease that eats away at organizations,” he said in a statement to the newspaper The Vanguard, 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; whether before, during or after.

Experts in programs of e-learning, have managed to put together a complete App that, based on motivational techniques, makes a meeting generally shorter and, above all, more efficientBrilliant Meeting takes the form of a multi-platform tool (computer, tablet, smartphone) that is able to indicate in real time the cost of the meeting (calculated from the average salaries of its members), help to keep the focus on the agreed topics, encourage decision-making and, finally, show the results in the form of minutes that are generated automatically. In other words, It offers all the data to evaluate the performance of a meeting and the loss of time and money that could have been caused by not reaching any kind of decision..

And of course, as in every game, the best comes at the end. After a meeting, the App gives some useful advice to improve the following meetings and awards prizes in the form of rewards and medals are awarded to users based on whether or not they have met their goals. All of these awards are displayed on a leaderboard that includes both colleagues and members of other companies. Who will be the winner?
