What do your meetings cost?
Five quick steps. Gut check first, numbers after. Everything behind the figure is shown next to it.
The rates are placeholders. Replace them with yours in step five.
So the rest talks to you, not to a generic office.
Before we count anything. Think of the meetings you sat in this week, not the ones you ran. First answer wins.
Nobody's sure what was decided.
Decisions, little follow-through.
Decisions, owners, mostly done.
Nothing to fix.
Next step unclear.
Next step agreed. Half happen.
Next step owned, both sides.
Nothing to fix.
Not a typical day. Your last working day. Your calendar is right there.
Anything with a slot and another person.
Our guess. The invite, plus the overrun.
Start from your day and say how typical it is. Nobody can estimate meetings per head, and nobody needs to.
Nearest band is fine.
Our guess. Leaders carry the heaviest load.
Loaded cost is salary plus everything a person costs. Ours is a placeholder. Yours is better.
Sales, account, advisory, support.
The hours are the easy part.
Cost says how much time meetings take. It says nothing about whether they worked. That is a behaviour question, and it starts with you.
