Want Better Meetings Ditch the Meetings
Respectfully, face-to-face meetings are not really needed. Direct communication is a much more efficient and productive way to communicate. This can happen via remote communications like video calls. People tune out in traditional meetings because they are too long and most of the information does not pertain to them. You could have the world's best dog and pony show and most will tune out. Keep meetings short, to the point and involving only the information needed for these specific people that need to know this information. Powerpoint is an informational tool not entertainment. It you need to entertain the attendees, you should not be having the meeting.
