We had a company-wide change where if you organize a one hour meeting in Outlook, it would actually schedule 45 mins. A well intended change allowing people small breaks, to stretch their legs, go to the toilet, grab a drink or just give their minds a break. Guess what the response was of the managerial class: alright, so to have a TRUE 1 hour meeting, I just schedule 75 mins? Way to miss the point. In my view, the costs of sending a meeting invite is just too low. There is no barrier at all to start useless and inefficient meetings whilst the human and productivity cost is enormous.
