SMARTERMEETINGS.COM LAUNCHES

On September 1, 2010, we launched www.SmarterMeetings.com, the world’s best, team meetings management system. We are really proud to bring this system to you. We believe the Smarter Meetings will be the breakthrough cure for unproductive, time wasting, expensive, soul-destroying meetings! Teamwork, productive meetings, cooperation and collaboration have all just got a whole lot easier.

Our goal at OneSmartWorld is to help build a smarter, better world. We build tools that help people get smarter and teams get more done. With Smarter Meetings.com we produced a simple to use, innovative application that enables people in teams to work smarter together and take their business results to the next level.

“ It’s amazing how quickly, the slower everything gets, when you have more than two people involved in making decisions.” This was the observation our daughter Lisa made after she and her friend, travelling across Africa for six weeks, were joined by two additional people, for the next leg of their journey.

Leaders and project managers are dealing with highly complex problems  working in teams of different types of members. They need practical tools to help the people in their teams think through the challenges and issues they face to make better decisions and come up with better solutions.

The Smarter Meetings system is the result of 10 years of blood, sweat, tears and cheers. We built it by working with progressive leaders in hundreds of organizations - in business, government and the not for profit sector - that were looking to find practical ways to help their teams and meetings work better. Our amazing clients and associates worked with us to develop and fine-tune the methodology and finally the technology itself. Along the way, we helped Shell Canada add $40M to their bottom line by providing a systematic way to tap into the intelligence of their people on a critical business challenge. The Canadian Cancer Society used the smarter meetings system to bring in national change management initiatives ahead of time and under budget. We helped WestJet realize a 558% ROI/return on investment, by saving time and talent in meetings, after they trained managers in the smarter meetings system.

Thanks to our great clients for believing in us through all the highs and lows, bugs and delays. Thanks to the perseverance, grit, talent and determination of our intrepid team of writers, software developers, web designers, graphic artists, public relations and marketing folks, strategists, videographers, bankers, administrators and production people who all played a key role in building this true game changer for meetings. Thanks to especially to Candice Currie, Travis North, Tim Desjardins, Dan Holinda, Donna Laitre, Pam August, Mary Raymond, Gary Young, Bill Noyes, Judy Pilling, David Gouthro, Glenn Clarke and the Techno Wizards, Mike Waterhouse, Lee Kea, Eric Wiele, Warren in the wings, Elton Clemente, Ace Cruikshank, John Geddes, David Church, Cindy Burgess, Ron Percy, Anne Marie Wright, Nick Murray, Mary Gibson, Matt Wiele and Mandy St Germaine and everyone else who contributed their ideas, time, feedback and support along the way.

Smarter Meetings is built as a complete an all-in-one solution. I hope you try it out for free or purchase it online for $195 at www.smartermeetings.com.

Based on the experience of our customers, we believe the Smarter Meetings system will pay for itself in the first or second time you use it. How? Simply by saving time, reducing frustration and giving people a universal common language and use a disciplined process and rules of engagement to get on the same page and work smarter together.

Looking forward to bringing you smarter meetings tips after the Labor Day weekend. Take a break – take a breather – it’s back at it come Tuesday!
