9 Meeting Mistakes
The Australian Financial Review estimates that employees waste about six hours every week in unimportant meetings, for big companies that amounts 
to $156 million wasted every year.
At Tri Helix Group we specialise in facilitation and collaboration and are masters at working with teams to help them achieve project success.
The following 9 mistakes come from our experience in the last two years, our team have facilitated virtual, hybrid & face to face meetings and workshops across 25 countries, involving 2,000 participants in over 30 projects.
- Blindly favouring face-to-face meetings without considering potential drawbacks.
- Using face-to-face meetings excessively for routine, day-to-day tasks.
- Neglecting to question the necessity of meetings and failing to assess their value honestly.
- Considering meetings as a fundamental part of workflow without prioritizing their effectiveness.
- Neglecting to create a comfortable workspace, leading to disconnection and reduced contribution.
- Assuming remote work proficiency can be achieved without patience and practice.
- Overlooking the availability of tools that can streamline meeting efforts and enhance effectiveness.
- Neglecting to invest time in planning and setting expectations for meetings, leading to confusion among participants.
- Underestimating the impact of facilitation techniques on productivity and meeting outcomes.
