  This is funny -- yet so true

  We've already started using Meeting Miser internally at BNET. It starts out as a kinda joke -- "Ha. Ha. Look how much this meeting is costing the company." -- But then you leave it up on the conference room monitor and sneak a peak at it a half-hour later.
  
  And the laughing stops.
  
  Really makes me wonder why all my meetings are an hour.

  This is truly pointless. We all know that meetings waste time and money, so instead of using a calculator to get the exact cost why not spend your time researching ways to improve those meetings. My organization uses this tool call ThinkTank by GroupSystems. I would suggest taking a look at their offer before causing further anguish over time/money spent in a meeting. www.groupsystems.com

  This is funny at the outset and not so funny when the cost numbers are looked at when the meeting ends.
  
  Any tool(s) is only as good as the people who use it. MeetingMiser or GroupSystems, they are ALL USELESS if not adhered to towards the end objective - efficiency!

  The Meeting Miser is an eye opener!! I got to thinking how our weekly, monthly, quarterly meetings are conducted. Having to involve too many people at these meetings results to productivity downtimes when translated to lost output is already an operating drain.
  
  
  Thanks to BNET!!

  I like all these ideas....The only trouble is often, it isn't convenient to bring your laptop into a meeting or your smart phone is frowned upon. This inventor created a freestanding meeting cost calculator (www.bringtim.com)
  
  For what it is worth.....
