Creativity expert Roger von Oech offers advice on engaging your team in meetings

When discussing the big business issues with your employees or clients it is vitally important to make sure they are 100% engaged all the way through the meeting. The problem is, the boardroom isn’t always the most inspiring place and, understandably, meeting attendees can spend more time drifting to distraction than offering their contribution. Indeed, in research conducted by Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts, 83% of respondents say they only pay attention to the first half of the meeting.

More than 1 in 10 Brits admit that they have fallen asleep during a tedious meeting and more than a third frequently catch themselves on the brink of dropping off.
