1 Define your meeting objectives and indicators

Before you can evaluate the ROI of your meetings, you need to define what you want to achieve and how you will measure it. Your meeting objectives should be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. For example, you might want to increase customer satisfaction, improve team performance, or launch a new product. Your indicators should be quantifiable and aligned with your objectives. For example, you might use surveys, feedback, sales, or productivity data.

ROI/SMART objectives need to be presented BEFORE a budget is finalized. This is not always possible - but you should strive to do it!

2 Collect and analyze your meeting data

Once you have your objectives and indicators, you need to collect and analyze your meeting data. You can use various tools and techniques to gather information before, during, and after your meetings, such as agendas, minutes, polls, quizzes, or analytics. You should also track your meeting costs, such as venue, travel, materials, or opportunity costs. To calculate the ROI of your meetings, you need to compare the benefits (the value of your indicators) with the costs (the total expenses of your meetings).

ROI can mean different things; the '30,000-foot view' might be very different from departmental objectives - make sure you know who is going to be the 'viewer' of your data.

3 Report and communicate your meeting results

After you have calculated the ROI of your meetings, you need to report and communicate your results to your stakeholders. You should use clear and concise language, visuals, and stories to highlight your key findings and recommendations. You should also tailor your message to your audience, focusing on the benefits and value that matter to them. For example, you might emphasize customer loyalty, employee engagement, or innovation. You should also invite feedback and suggestions for improvement.

4 Monitor and improve your meeting performance

Evaluating the ROI of your meetings is not a one-time activity, but a continuous process. You should monitor and improve your meeting performance regularly, using the data and feedback you collect. You should also set goals and action plans to increase the value and impact of your meetings. For example, you might reduce the frequency, duration, or size of your meetings, use more interactive or creative formats, or follow up on the outcomes and next steps.

5 Use meeting evaluation tools and templates

To make your meeting evaluation easier and faster, you can use various tools and templates that can help you collect, analyze, report, and communicate your meeting data. For example, you can use online platforms, apps, or software that can automate your surveys, polls, quizzes, analytics, or reports. You can also use templates or frameworks that can guide you through the steps of defining your objectives, indicators, costs, benefits, and ROI.

6 Learn from best practices and examples

To improve your meeting evaluation skills and knowledge, you can learn from best practices and examples from other organizations or professionals. You can find case studies, articles, books, podcasts, or webinars that can show you how to measure and communicate the ROI of your meetings effectively. You can also join online communities, networks, or events where you can exchange ideas, insights, and experiences with other meeting organizers or evaluators.

One of the most common mistakes I have seen in meetings is confusing ROI objectives with Fiscal Quarter (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) alignment. Usually leads to lots of confusion.
