New Research: Meeting Automation

May 28, 2009 15:36 by david

Boy, ever wondered how much time business professionals are wasting planning\coordinating meetings? We did...

Some new research commissioned by UK-startup Doodle is sure to wake up those in the glass offices upstairs. According to the study, business professionals spend 4.9 hours of an average workweek to arrange 7 meetings. Wow, that's a lot of meetings!  What are these professionals using to plan these meetings..the 3 P's: pencil, paper & phone. Yuck!

Here's the clincher...except for holidays, that's 230 hours spent arranging meetings, not attending them (or 29 workings days, nearly six working weeks a year).

We're wondering how they find the rooms if it's an external meeting...? We aspire to help!
