How This Tool Helps You
Meetings are expensive. When 6 senior professionals sit in a room for an hour, the cost can easily exceed $1,000. Yet most organizations never calculate this. This tool shows you the real dollar cost of any meeting based on the number of attendees and their approximate hourly rates. Use it to justify meeting agendas, cut unnecessary meetings, and make a case for async communication. Especially valuable for consultants advising on operational efficiency.
