Optimizes team meetings using data-driven frameworks to boost productivity

Original Description

Is your team's calendar packed with back-to-back meetings, leaving little time for focused work? Optimize Meetings: Boost Team Productivity is a practical, entry-level course for professionals, team leads, and project managers who want to move from feeling overwhelmed to taking control of their team's schedule. This course provides a data-driven framework to systematically analyze and improve your meeting culture, transforming it from a source of frustration into a driver of efficiency. You will learn to conduct a "meeting audit" by exporting and analyzing calendar data to quantify inefficiencies and identify redundant sessions. Through hands-on activities, you will master techniques to calculate your team's "meeting load percentage," evaluate meetings for purpose and engagement, and develop compelling, data-backed proposals for change. By the end, you will be equipped to recommend specific, actionable solutions—like replacing status check-ins with automated updates or redesigning formats to boost engagement—freeing up valuable time for the deep work that truly matters.
