title: Making meetings effective.
abstract: This is the last in the current series of articles considering various elements of effective management. Fiona Westwood has already looked at managing conflict, influencing people and doing deals. This article looks at one of the major causes of frustration for any organisation--the amount of time people spend in meetings and the limited value that such time investment produces.
