Week 2: Pow wow meeting

We started week 2 with the best meeting ever.

I'm not the sort to particularly dislike meetings, but I can understand that for a lot of people, meetings can be fairly tedious, especially if they drag on well after the content has been digested, regurgitated and re-blended to make what is essentially the same thing you had started out with. Not the Monday WIP (work in progress). The loudspeaker announced that the meeting is starting, and people promptly made their way to the large board room. Those that arrived on time were able to sit down on the comfy couches. The presenters, started early, were audible and engaging. The PowerPoints were largely replaced with multimedia examples of the work Saatchi & Saatchi had been doing lately. It all went by in a flash. Done in 15 minutes, entertaining and informative. More like a performance than a meeting, I was sure that someone had kidnapped the boring corporates and replaced them with expressive actors. Why can't every meeting be like this?
