For over 50 years scientists have talked about the benefits and dangers of AI (artificial intelligence). These range from freeing up our time to live a more leisurely life, all the way to wiping us out entirely. Until recently, however, the hype was completely unjustified. The joke being that truly useful AI, like nuclear fusion, was always ten years away. In the last 6 months, at least in the mind of the general public, that perception of AI as an over-hyped technology has begun to change.

Not a fan of meetings? You aren’t the only one. Lencioni is right: In many cases, meetings are both boring and unnecessary — a double whammy.

That’s why we recommend replacing all of your meetings (okay, maybe not all, but most of them) with a project management app instead. A smooth project management system helps your agency work efficiently and effectively.
