We have a problem with meetings. Meetings are broken and no one likes them. Most people think that meetings are a waste of time and that their only purpose is to produce more meetings. And yet meetings are one of the most important ways people get things done at work.

In this video, Jonathan Courtney, CEO of AJ&Smart, explains the problem with meetings and what you can do instead to improve collaboration and achieve better results at work.

This video is part of our Workshopper Master program, where we teach people how to design and facilitate problem-solving and decision-making sessions.
