That’s the finding from a new Verizon study: 90% of participants felt more comfortable working through asynchronous modes (e.g., email, Slack, shared documents), 83% said new ways of managing meetings improved meeting effectiveness, and 78% said they were wasting less time sitting in meetings where live participation wasn’t required. Suggestions: adopt impactful practices: keep meetings between 25 and 50 minutes, with a 5-10 minute lagged start time, have an agenda, and reassess the need for regular recurring meetings. #IdeaoftheDay
