Time is short and there’s too much to do.
With all you’ve got going on, when do you find time to prepare for meetings? Maybe five minutes here, two minutes there — and sometimes you don’t even get that much time. How do you draw out your best thinking, keep control of proceedings, and make a positive impact? Peak Meetings lets you capture your thoughts in those micro moments when you can focus on an upcoming meeting. And if you don’t get time to prepare, the Quick Guides give you a powerful reference to help your meeting stay on course.
The pressure to succeed is intense.
Too little time, too much to do, and you still need to make critical decisions. How do you get to the heart of a matter in the shortest amount of time? Peak Meetings helps you by prompting you to think deeper and more decisively about what’s behind an issue or option or course of action. Other programs let you list agenda items, but Peak Meetings takes you further. You can list the components of a topic — and then the app asks you for pros and cons, or why something matters. This leads to higher quality thinking and better results.
You’re in more meetings, not fewer.
What’s with this workload? How do you stay on top of all the issues and plans and action items hitting you? With Peak Meetings, it’s easy to manage all your meetings, and even stay ahead of the game. Navigating the app is so simple that you can switch between meeting plans almost as fast as your thoughts do. Just let your mind flow and the app will follow… And retrieving information is just a tap away.
Someone has to take the lead.
Despite all the books and classes and blog posts about how to make meetings better, many meetings are bad. But they don’t have to be. The structure in Peak Meetings makes it easy to elevate your team’s efforts, and sets a great example for the rest of your organization on how to have better, faster meetings. All without having to buy a book or attend a class — or stand on one foot to make the meeting go faster.
You’re drowning in notes.
How do you keep track of your ideas, insights, and plans from all the meetings you’re in? If you’ve got a stack of notepads, good luck trying to find a critical piece of data in five seconds or less. And how about sending out information afterwards? If you’re using Peak Meetings, you can email the meeting minutes before anyone even leaves the room. And you can track action items, add them to your calendar, or send them to those poor folks who weren’t able to attend the meeting (but got assigned tasks anyway!).
There’s got to be a better way.
We all know that most meetings could be better, but who ever really learned how? Meetings seem simple enough, but if you go in with a blank notepad, ready to just talk, chances are you’re headed toward another mediocre meeting (or worse?). Peak Meetings gives you something that even the best book or class can’t provide — a constant repository and a guide for all your ideas, insights, and plans. And, unlike a web app, it’s instant-on (and always with you?).
