Tips for More Cost-Effective Meetings Simple ways to run better meetings and waste less time.
Invite fewer people
If someone doesn't need to make a decision, contribute expertise or leave with an action, they may not need to be there.
Make 30 minutes the default
A 60-minute calendar slot tends to become a 60-minute meeting. Start shorter and extend only when necessary.
Start on time
Waiting for late arrivals wastes everyone's time — especially when several people are in the room.
Finish on time
Respect the time booked. If the discussion needs to continue, decide what actually requires another conversation.
Keep follow-ups small
If a follow-up meeting is needed, invite only the people relevant to that specific discussion or decision.
Use async updates for status sharing
If the meeting is mainly people taking turns giving updates, a written update may do the job better.
Send context before the meeting
Don't spend the first 15 minutes getting everyone up to speed. When needed, share the relevant information beforehand.
End when you're done
A meeting booked for an hour doesn't have to last an hour.
The cheapest meeting isn't always the best meeting. The goal is to spend people's time where it actually adds value.
