Meeting Cost Calculator provides business leaders with tools to quantify and track the cost of meeting time within their orgs to help eliminate unnecessary meetings, increase team productivity, and educate team members on meeting costs.
I am SO excited about Meeting Cost Calculator and hunting this launch. I've been personally noodling on this concept for years, so when I discovered @kevjord @amongmany @bgibson @jmpaul_astro @cvlvn had built this, I couldn't help but ask to help out.
While I've spent ~20 years of my career in startups where meetings aren't usually *too* big a problem, my time at CBS, Etsy, and WarnerMedia was basically almost non-stop meetings. I love the concept of getting managers (and employees) to get a real understanding of the actual cost to the *organization*. Rarely can you truly address the impact of (1) having too many people in meetings and (2) having too many meetings in general but also (3) having individuals spending so much of their time stuck in meetings as well.
I've actually been using it for my startup's product (Augie AI Assisted Video Editing) - it makes "this could've been an email" very very poignant! The onboarding was super easy - it even includes external meetings for me (so I can see how much it's cost me to do all my pitching!)
So go ahead, check out Meeting Cost Calculator, and let's all save time, and money, for our companies!
