Rule 10-30-50-90 for productive meetings

Allison Davis, founder of consultancy Davis & Company, believes that the meeting in their usual presentation unproductive. It proposes to use Rule 10-30-50-90. Here's what she has in mind.

It seems that if you ask about the unproductive pastime at work, many will tell you that this meeting. And watching video funny seals on YouTube. Chapter consultancy Allison Davis faced with the same problem (not seals). She believes that the meeting in their conventional sense is not too productive, and offers a way to change that.

Davis advises not to make each meeting a long and instead introduce a rule 10-30-50-90. With it, you need to divide the meeting into four groups, depending on the goals you want to achieve.

• 10 minutes to discuss the agenda and the meeting at the beginning of the working day. At such meetings prevail short conversations and answer questions like "What is the deadline for this job?", "Tell me how the client reacted to the work done," and so on.
• 30 minutes for conversations tête-à-tête and discuss a problem. Most meetings will be 30 minute. In this type of Davis takes 60-70% of all meetings.

• 50 minutes to discuss several issues or depression in the subject. At such meetings the length of the staff will be more focused.
• 90 minutes for breynstormy, Strategy discussions and decisions of the major problems. This period of time allows you to make out the problem and come up with a solution.

Try to appoint such meetings instead of the standard one-hour meeting and tell us what happened.
