The Opportunity Cost of Meetings

For a while I’ve been considering the costs of putting together large numbers of people. The cost scales roughly linearly, but sometimes it’s difficult to remember that. Putting together a mediocre presentation for 3 people is almost exactly half as bad as putting together one for 6 people.

“You may want one person in a very visible place to burn or rip up about $10-$30 each minute, to remind people to keep it short and important.”
