// ESTABLISHING TIME AWARENESS
Concentrate on important things, particularly in meetings!
Lengthy talk about worthless topics can take a lot of time. Often a group of top-class managers takes an hour to decide about 1000 dollars.
The sum of salaries due to this hour could easily reach the same value or more.
You eliminate this kind of waste by making the
participants aware of what is happening. Meeting timers have been introduced for this purpose. Based on salaries and other costs, these timers
show to everybody how much money is used up during a meeting. It sometimes works wonders when participants see how much the company's money
slips through their fingers while they discuss about nullities.
How does it work?
A meeting timer should include a brief description of its function. Furthermore, a start value, the value per hour and a currency are required. Then you start the timer. If you work on the topics within meineZIELE and change to another view, the timer will remain visible in the footer.
Examples
Meeting timers are versatile. Therefore you can change the description freely, for instances:
"We lose 85 customers to competing
products every hour"
"Each hour we will be discussing we should achieve at least $10,000 value. If we do not, our meeting is useless."
"Our
department store chain suffers 43 shopliftings per hour"
"This city makes $ 5800 new debt per hour"
"Our subsidiary makes £130,000 loss
daily"
"This meeting leads to costs of € 800 per hour. Please be concise."
Tip:
Meeting timers on screen get significantly more attention than common wall clocks. That makes necessary that you introduce your meeting timer diplomatically. Details
