RE: Face to face agenda times

Hi Chaals:
Unfortunately I have deconstructed the agenda (per the discussion at our telcon on Tuesday) at an uncomfortably late date and I'm working to reconstruct it before early afternoon eastern time.

Meantime, count on ending at 6, except Wednesday which is 5.

Best regards,
David

Hi,

I have a question and a suggestion…

The question is what time we finish the meeting in the evenings. I have to organise a teleconference as soon as possible after the meeting on Monday, so this is useful to know.

The suggestion is that we limit the meeting to 1-hour blocks, with at least a 10-minute break between them.

My long experience is that it is often difficult for people to concentrate hard for much longer than that. Conversely I have found that short focused bursts help people to really focus on the topic.

They also allow people to ignore a particular topic and do something else, then come back for the next one and focus. This is better than having people half-focused on something else and missing things they did care about.

cheers

Chaals
