We have a problem with meetings. Meetings are broken and nobody likes them. Most people think that meetings are a waste of time and that their only goal is to spawn more meetings. And yet meetings are one of the key ways how people get things done at work. 

In this video AJ&Smart CEO, Jonathan Courtney explains what's the problem with meetings and what you could do instead to improve collaboration and get better results at work. 

This video is part of our program Workshopper Master, where we teach people how to design and facilitate problem-solving and decision-making sessions.
