Global Shorter Meetings Management Program Released On Line

The Global Campaign for Shorter Meetings has released a Death by Meetings on line training program from its website which blows the cover on poor meeting practice in the world and is aimed at cutting costs for companies and taxpayer funded bureaucracy.

The program in the form of an interactive game features four grand prix racing worms who run their race with the roll of a dice as players try to get to the end of their meeting.

Ron Smith, author of Death by Meetings said the Death by Meetings Grand Prix worm race rewards those who turn up on time with agendas and penalises meeting groupies or the What if Wankers who delay proceedings.

Mr Smith says the game, which we hope to make a global training program in offices around the world like a Grand Prix, is full of unexpected traps for participants.

“The Global Campaign for Shorter Meetings has used the online program format as it is accessible to around 80% of the community from either the work or home computer.”

Whilst the game has a fun element it cuts straight to the chase on the activities of What if Wankers whose sole job is to stop progress. The Legal Worrier is a most expensive meeting participant and is sure to get the entire office on its toes as they identify the delaying tactics in meetings.

A warning on the website says the organisation takes no legal responsibility for laughter around the world during the race.
