How does focusing meetings on decisions enhance business strategy?

Focusing meetings on decisions enhances business strategy by maximizing meeting efficiency. It ensures that the majority of the time is spent on matters that significantly impact the company's long-term value. This approach helps in prioritizing important issues, making long-term decisions, and following up meetings with actionable next steps. It reduces the time spent on less important matters, thus leading to a more effective and strategic use of time.

Question was asked on:

A survey of 187 companies worldwide with market capitalizations of $1 billion conducted by Marakon Associates and the Economist Intelligence Unit discovered that 80% of management's time is spent on issues that only account for 20% of a company's long-term value. With this deck, you can capitalize on the strategies that maximize meeting efficiency: focus meetings on decisions, measure your agenda's value, complete agenda-items as soon as possible, make decisions last long-term, and follow-up meetings with actionable next steps.
