Meeting Efficiency and Async Collaboration
A simple formula, two worked examples and a quarterly filter for every recurring meeting.
Most teams never see what their meetings cost, so overspending stays invisible. Once you can put a number on it, conversations change. This deck gives you the formula, the examples and the slides to show it to others.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of 51 slides on meeting cost. It explains the cost-per-meeting formula, works through examples, gives a could-this-be-an-email test, a decision filter, a cost-aware agenda template and a Meeting Efficiency Scorecard. It suits managers, freelancers and team leads.
The opening chapter makes the cost visible. You meet the formula: average hourly rate times attendees, divided by 60, times duration in minutes, then multiplied by frequency. Two worked examples, a daily stand-up and a weekly all-hands, show how a short recurring meeting adds up over a year. The examples are in US dollars, so you can swap in your own currency and rates.
Chapter 2 helps you find waste: the could-this-be-an-email test, the too-many-attendees red flag, duration inflation and the habit of choosing 25 or 45 minute slots. A framework of decision signals and a simple flow, is it necessary, can it be async, are attendees essential and can it be shorter, turns that into a quarterly filter. Chapter 3 covers async basics, a short sample update-request template and tool categories.
The action chapters give a three-step plan to audit, redesign and champion change, a Meeting Audit Checklist tracker, a cost-aware agenda template and a cheat sheet of inputs and outputs. Further slides address the solopreneur, the student and the creator, and the deck ends with a personal four-week plan and a Meeting Efficiency Scorecard.

Plug your top three recurring meetings into the formula and use the checklist slide to recommend an action for each.
Present the worked examples and the filter, then ask the team which meeting should be shortened or moved to async first.
Use the solopreneur slides to set office hours and replace status calls with recorded or written updates.
