In our continually evolving, agile business World, stand meetings appears to be becoming more 'acceptable'.
However, who is accepting this, and why?
[ More... ]
The business will save on meeting room footage and furniture / equipment costs. But will suffer from lack of engagement from the meeting attendees.
The idea is to remove the tables and chairs from meeting areas so everyone has to stand up. This keeps the meeting short because people are not comfortable enough to settle into lengthy discussions.
With a stand-up meetings however:- People who are uncomfortable are not concentrating fully on the topic being discussed in the meeting. They're more conscious of being uncomfortable - which is not productive.
- People with health problems (e.g. bad knees or bad back) will be more uncomfortable than others, and may feel embarrassment if they have to track down a chair at the start of the meeting. They may even start avoiding meetings.
- People with laptops (there are still a lot of us) will have nowhere to put them. Most of us are trying to be environmentally friendly and prefer not to be carrying a pen and paper, or have to make notes on mobile devices and process them afterwards. Sometimes we need information at our fingertips to be able to contribute appropriately.
- Standing up will not stop most serial wafflers from launching into their monologues
Yes, use stand up meetings if you feel that you would gain some benefit, but be careful of the potentially costly consequences. [ Hide extra ]
