There are approximately 1.5B meetings daily around the world, and 50% are deemed as a waste of time.
— Mroz et al., 2018; Rogelberg, Meeting Science

The first meeting tool co-developed with users + academics leading in business and communication science.

Meetings are a fundamental part of working life, and yet remain famously imperfect. A large part of the problem can be attributed to lack of structure, poor time management, poor listening and low participant contribution. Together with a community of real world managers, business and communication researchers, we’ve assembled the remarkable impact meetings have on working life.

  • There are approximately 1.5B meetings daily around the world, and 50% are deemed as a waste of time.

  • Most meetings do not have a dedicated moderator.

  • The majority of managers are not trained to run meetings.

  • Few know what a great meeting actually looks like, and struggle to improve them.

  • Tracking a meeting without assistance uses up a lot of energy or attention, and competes with a meeting organiser’s ability to contribute themselves.

  • Meetings cost companies roughly 15% of their HR budget.

  • Many would rather cancel meetings altogether than have better ones.

  • Pre-meeting analysis (aka being prepared) is observably the largest factor of meeting success.

  • The way meetings are run are a reflection of company culture.

  • Bad meetings impact morale, create lower retention and drag down productivity.

“There’s a famous adage that people don’t quit jobs,
they quit managers. Well, a whole business can go down because of bad meetings.”

FAQ

Designed specifically for your meetings, before, during and after.

  • Yes, for the time being. Our Beta runs until 2025 while we polish off the tool with the help of our professional community. Come next year, our paid product will be launched.

  • We do not sell or share your data with anyone, and it is not used to train AI models outside of our own systems. Additionally, any agenda information you provide is confidential and is not shared internally within the company. We use AWS Bedrock for our Generative AI services, which ensures that your data is not shared with model providers and is not used to enhance the base models. You can trust that your data is secure and used solely to improve your experience with our product.

  • The calendar data you provide is used solely to populate your dashboard with the meetings you have scheduled and to enable the product features you rely on. This ensures that you have a seamless and personalized experience, with all relevant information readily accessible. We do not share or sell this information with anyone. For more information visit our Privacy terms.

  • Our technology is not designed to utilise voice data and does not have voice recording capabilities. We will not listen in on your meetings!

  • We hear you, these are staple documentation tools. However, these are just a piece of the puzzle to running a good meeting. We’ve seen first hand how teams struggle to keep on top of folder management, hunt for agendas in layers of filing, scrap for meeting details last minute, and misplace their meeting plans. That’s why we created a centralised agenda dashboard. No less, they don’t offer an assistive experience in crafting a time-efficient, empowering plan beforehand, nor the real-time nudges which actually facilitate your moderation during the meeting session. Afterwards, you’re even furnished with helpful insights about how the meeting went. this+that consolidates all these features, and more.

  • Productivity nerds keen to reliably get the most out of their meetings, those new to running meetings such as early career leaders and managers, and senior managers who recognise the need to improve meeting effectiveness and efficiency across their teams.

  • this+that is ideal for teams, especially those with recurring meetings. Once you sync your calendar, the agendas for team meetings can be edited by everyone invited to them who has an account.
