Our results
Together, we developed and implemented a regular meeting cascade for management that puts into place exchanges required with interfaces to ensure everyone received the latest relevant updates. The harmonised, regular communication also leads to a 20% meeting time reduction which creates space in the calendars for urgent ad-hoc issues that require management attention.

The client's challenge
When the client started working in the new market, the small teams had short and direct communication ways. Now, after years of rapid growth, the client was spending more time in meetings and the balance between value-added and non-value-added time was deteriorating..
We were asked to set up a meeting cascade that both enhances information flow between the interfaces and reduces the time spent in regular meetings.
