Adobe States the Obvious- Lord Love'em

Adobe in the UK recently released the results of their "Meeting Fatigue Survey". I didn't even know there was one but it had some good stuff including:

  • UK managers spend 5.5 days a month preparing for, travelling to and attending meetings.  There was much rejoicing and surprise that they spent ANY time planning but maybe i'm just cynical
  • 7 Percent of respondents admitted to falling asleep in meetings. That NEVER happens during webmeetings...most people are  too busy answering email
  • Results of the survey have "proved to Adobe that in some cases webmeetings or e-learning would benefit some industries more than traditional face-to-face meetings". I believe the technical term is "No Duh".

Here's the critical piece of the information though- despite shamelessly shilling for Adobe Connect the spokesman did admit that "it's still up to the person holding the meeting to keep the content interesting and engaging".

Hey, whether you use WebEx, Adobe Connect or any other tool, it's all about how you use the tools... that's what we're here for. Let us know if we can help.
