This Meeting Could have Been an Email.

Meeting overload was a problem before the pandemic, but now with back-to-back Zoom meetings instead of the long Esplanade walks to our conference room destination, we have more time…and more time means more meetings. Advice on facilitating better meetings is plentiful, but often skips a crucial first step: asking yourself whether you need to have a meeting in the first place.

During this session, we will uncover the answer to the question that has plagued our Outlook calendars for years…Could this meeting have been an email?

Learning Objectives:

– Identify if a meeting should be an email by using a simple flowchart.
