Every two weeks I take our team (it's only 4-5 of them) out for lunch and we touch on every active client followed by any announcements from sales or operations. It lasts about an hour generally, but they were going to take lunch anyhow and the meetings are usually pretty valuable for making sure everybody's on the same page. Also it keeps them on their toes and working on things because they don't want to have to go to the meeting and say "Uh, yeah, I haven't done anything on that yet."

From: Chyka, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 5:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: IT Departmental Meetings Hi Everyone, Right now we have the most boring meetings for our IT Dept. We have weekly meetings with 15 members of our staff in them from the CIO to lower level techs and everyone in between. We fill out an agenda with what we are working on etc. The meeting lasts forever and the DBAs don't want to hear what the Network guys are doing and the techs don't want to hear what the systems guys are doing etc. etc. just awful meetings and nothing gets accomplished. We were told since we don't like the meetings and they are highly ineffective to come up with a better way to hold them. I was thinking about every 2 weeks have the CIO meet with the management in each division together so we still know what is going on with the "team". Every week is way too often and doesn't give enough time to report on completed projects etc. I was wondering how dept. meetings are held at your places of employment for the IT dept. Thanks..BC ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
