Every week I wonder about meetings in corporate environments. I mean, face time is always a good idea, however often times meeting time is abused with unfocused direction - leading to misspent time and ultimately money. It also is important to note that having too many "bodies" in a meeting can also degrade the performance and end results for which efficient actions can be taken.

Trawling the web, I found this nifty meeting cost calculator tool (http://tobytripp.github.com/meeting-ticker/) to ascertain the cost of each meeting. When the bottom line is clearly defined, it makes folks prioritize communication, focus agenda's and coordinate the right set of folks to be attendants. Taking very good detailed notes will in turn provide additional direction for remaining members of a team who were not part of the main event.

Definitely feel free to share any additional tools and calculators that you find helpful so I can share with other readers. Thanks in advance!
