The following is a post by Seth Godin which actually holds true to most of the meetings that happen.<\/p>\n
However, in vtiger, most of the things are impromptu. The meetings are barely 10 minutes long, the objective is stated, everything is standing, an update is done or a plan of action is stated, a conclusion arrived at, the meeting is dispersed.

No meeting ends without a concrete result (even if the result is – to do nothing for then!)<\/p>\n

This keeps everyone alert and alive. So when a meeting is done, we are sure of what we speak and what the expected outcome may be if things happen a little differently.<\/p>\n
