Fewer, Better Video Calls
This is a practical workshop where a team audits its whole load of recurring video calls and redesigns it for a remote world. The session is itself run as a tightly designed call, with its purpose on screen from the start, so the team sees what a better call looks like while it builds one.

How the Fewer, Better Video Calls Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Step 1: Check-in, our week in calls
Open the session by displaying the purpose and outcome on the screen. Participants share their meeting load and discuss their experiences with recurring calls. A quick poll gauges the time spent in meetings.
2Step 2: Inventory the meeting load
Gather all recurring meetings into the Meeting Audit Canvas, calculating their total people-hours. Breakout rooms allow teams to analyze their meeting costs before regrouping to share results.
3Step 3: Ecocycle the meetings
Utilize the Ecocycle model to categorize each meeting by its lifecycle stage. Participants place meetings on the board and discuss the clusters of opinions, identifying those that run on habit versus those that are essential.
