The corporate world has changed a lot since the advent of personal computing. However, one thing has remained constant throughout this upheaval—the need for business meetings. Whether those meetings take place remotely or within a dedicated office space, they remain an integral part of planning policy and developing strategies.

But in today’s fast-paced business world, meetings need to adapt in order to be successful and effective in a shorter span of time: After all, no company wants to dedicate resources to multiple-hour-long meetings where the attendees accomplish little to nothing. Businesses that are concerned with having an efficient meeting schedule should consider these suggestions from Forbes Business Council members as to which components are crucial and necessary to planning or running a successful meeting.

Action-Oriented Outcomes

We have all experienced long-drawn-out meetings that produce no tangible progress. Make every meeting action- and outcome-oriented. To help facilitate, start each meeting with specific outcomes that you want to achieve and time-bound the meeting to 15 or 30 minutes to achieve maximum efficiency. Get to the heart of the matter. – Scott Amyx, Amyx Ventures
