Introducing MeetingOps: a blueprint for increased business productivity

The modern workplace is at a crossroads. As businesses navigate the hybrid work revolution post-pandemic, meetings have emerged as both a lifeline for collaboration and a bottleneck for productivity.

The numbers paint a stark picture: executives now spend an average of 23 hours per week in meetings (Harvard Business Review), with 71% of senior managers calling them unproductive and inefficient. 

Adding to this inefficiency, 63% of meetings lack a set agenda (Atlassian), turning what should be a focused discussion into a nebulous time sink.

At MeetingLabs, we believe it’s time to confront the meeting crisis head-on and reclaim the working day.

What is MeetingOps?

To address this widespread inefficiency, we have developed the concept of MeetingOps—a structured framework designed to optimize the way organizations plan, execute, and analyze meetings. Much like DevOps transformed software development by introducing automation and continuous improvement, MeetingOps applies data-driven insights, AI-powered automation, and operational best practices to meetings, ensuring they drive real business value rather than drain time and energy.

MeetingOps is not just about reducing the number of meetings—it’s about systemizing, standardizing, and improving them. By integrating AI, automation, and analytics, organizations can eliminate redundant meetings, streamline decision-making, and establish formal operating cadences that enhance productivity across teams.
