This is one of the single best business ideas I’ve ever heard of.
So many people enact Shakespearean theater at work by engaging others in useless meetings and gatherings. Stop these useless meetings and do something measurable and valuable instead.
The big insight is that by eliminating so many meetings, they’ve made so many (bad) ideas become default no vs default yes.

This probably helps keep the A/A+ talent and weeds out the Bs and Cs. A win/win for everyone.
