01
Inventory
List recurring meetings, attendees, frequency, duration, and stated purpose. Estimate person-hours per month.
02
Look for outputs
Review the last four meetings: what decisions, resolved blockers, or shared understanding resulted?
03
Choose an action
Keep meetings with clear outcomes. Shorten or narrow meetings with useful but diluted discussion. Replace pure status readings with written updates.
04
Recheck
After four weeks, ask whether decisions are faster and information is still reaching the right people.
