The Meeting Reset: Fewer Meetings, Faster Decisions
📅 March 11, 2027 | 🕒 3:00 - 4:00pm ET | 📍Register Here
Sixty-seven percent of people attending meetings call them unproductive (State of Meeting Note-Taking, Laxis).
The Meeting Reset gives leaders a three-way decision framework: kill it, shrink it, or keep it, and starts with the question that should come before the invite goes out: Does this need to be a meeting at all? Three questions decide it, along with a real weekly meeting budget, meeting-free days, and a clear-eyed look at what AI notetakers change and what they still can't replace.
Learning Objectives / Takeaways:
- A clear filter for deciding whether a meeting needs to happen at all, updated for what AI notetakers genuinely change and what they don't.
- The real cost of meetings, and a system for right-sizing who's in the room and how long it runs.
- Facilitation tools that keep the discussion moving without shutting anyone down.
- A guardrail that protects real presence without a blanket ban on devices, since some people focus better when typing, doodling, or mapping out ideas.
- Kill it, shrink it, or keep it: a live decision on one of their own recurring meetings, made in the room.
Question to consider prior to the presentation: What is one recurring meeting that I would like to kill or shrink?
