Metron is your ideal solution in implementing a strategic meetings management strategy – to ultimately drive increased meetings ROI throughout your enterprise.

If your organization is like most others, you have a reasonably accurate view of your enterprise’s travel expenditures. But when it comes to the hard and soft costs associated with meetings – both internal and external – most enterprises are in the dark. This despite the tens of millions of dollars spent directly and indirectly for meetings each year, and magnitudes more if you consider the soft costs including participant wages and lost opportunity costs.

In the typical enterprise, external meetings account for almost half of the corporate travel budget, yet represent only 12-20% of all meetings. The costs associated with the remaining majority of meetings are not easily tracked as they are allocated to a variety of cost centers – if they are tracked at all.

And even after you are able to know your meeting spend, “buying” meetings better is of questionable impact if the value of the meeting is not understood.

The critical question is: “How does this meeting drive the strategic goals of my enterprise and what objective ROI measures are available to justify this expenditure.”

Unfortunately, most enterprises have found that measuring the true cost and ROI of meetings has proven virtually impossible.

Why? Because there have been no automated solutions that incorporate best practices for planning, executing and measuring meetings within an enterprise.

Until now.
