Getting Started with Meeting Data @Siemens

Draft structure for review by Ryan & Sharon

[Introductory text] At Siemens, we have a wide range of meetings, some of them are really good, and some of them are not. And those meetings that are not good tend to take up too much of our time, and are a source of frustration and waste for many of us. As we seek to be the best that we can, and as our time becomes increasingly precious to us, we need all our meetings to engage, energise, inspire, motivate, inform and equip  to the best that they are able.

We also have a rich history of improving processes, and we know that gathering process data is key to creating sustained improvement. We also know that part of the issue with meetings is that we have no data. We do not even know how much of our collective time is spent in them, or how good they are at achieving their objectives overall.

[Introductory video] Perhaps Juergen talking about the above for 30 seconds?

Over the past few months, we have been working on a simple effortless system which will enable us to provide, receive and analyse meeting data in real-time, and use it to improve our meetings, both collectively, and through better empowering people within their own meetings. It consists of three components – a mobile app to enable people to give feedback, a tool for gathering meeting data (time spent etc.) from people’s calendars, and individual accounts which enable people to access resources to improve the overall process.

The following sections provide simple guidance on how you will access, implement and use each one of these things. The steps are simple, but please follow them carefully to ensure they work right first time. Click on each section to open it.
