“95% of the meetings I attend have no agenda and it’s VERY irritating. You’d think Directors and above would no better.”

Isn’t this amazing.

The agenda is the secret weapon for any meeting – it’s the plan – the blueprint.

My previous research has shown that 70% of meetings are held without an agenda – and then people wonder why they do not achieve much. 95% is amazing!

If you’d like to know how to prepare a 21st century agenda, eail me at david@davidprice.com and I will send you some information.
