Fewer and Shorter Meetings
The fewer meetings the better."
- Peter Drucker
No one likes meetings. And yet they are a fixture of most companies.
One of the primary benefits of Kutano is to reduce the number and duration of meetings.
Fewer Meetings
Many meetings are held just to deliver status updates. And others spend a large amount of the time with status updates.
Kutano helps to eliminate these unnecessary meetings and free you up to get work done.
This is particularly the case for meeting observers.
Many people attend meetings as observers. They want to know what is going on with the team but they are not an active participant in the meeting. This results in a huge time overhead just to ensure that they can catch important details.
With Kutano, you are able to join a team as an observer and get notified with a weekly summary that contains all of the status update details. Simply scan the summary to stay up to date and engage if there are issues that need to be addressed.
You can even enter comments on any of the status update details so that you can get further details or ask questions.
Shorter Meetings
In a typical status meeting everyone spends 30 minutes listening to each person deliver their status update. This requires you to listen to many details that may not be particularly important to you with no way to skip sections that do not have an impact on you.
With Kutano, everything is available in the status update summary. You can scan the information to focus on the things that matter the most and use the meeting time to discuss and questions or issues.
Better Meetings
Meeting time should be spent on key activities that benefit from everyone being in the room at the same time. This includes decision making, problem solving and strategic discussions. Once you remove the status update portion of the meeting, you a freed up to spend your time on these critical activities.
