Meetings Manifesto

Redefining the Way We Meet

Your company’s success depends on collaboration. But when meetings are frustrating, due to poor spaces, weak technology, or ineffective behaviours, productivity suffers. Many leaders try to fix one issue in isolation, but a holistic approach is essential.

The Amicus Meetings Manifesto is here to guide you through integrated solutions that bring mindset, behaviour, spaces, and technology all together.

We’ve curated a powerful video series that explores the future of meetings. Whether you’re looking to enhance engagement, optimise space, or integrate cutting-edge technology, these expert-led discussions offer practical strategies to make every meeting more effective.

How to Create Meeting Rooms that Genuinely Perform

Poor meeting rooms create frustration and inefficiency. Whether it’s weak audio, malfunctioning technology, bad acoustics, or poor layout, these factors can make meetings ineffective and painful.

Our experts, Paul Simmons, Head of Technology and Annelie Xenofontos, Head of Design, take a deep dive into the common issues businesses face and offer practical solutions.

From quick fixes to full-scale refurbishments, this video provides clear guidance on how to transform dysfunctional spaces into high-performing meeting rooms.

Creating Quality Moments of Collaboration

Many businesses focus on the quantity of office time rather than the quality of interactions. But true collaboration happens when people have meaningful, high-impact moments together.

In this video, Dr. Sophie Fenton, Senior Workplace Strategist and Annelie Xenofontos, Head of Design, share the science behind face-to-face connection and how these moments translate into more effective virtual collaboration.

We also explore how office design can enhance these experiences, from creating soft spaces to using biophilic design elements. 

Optimising Your Meeting Room Stack with Data

Are your meeting rooms meeting your needs? Many offices struggle with the wrong mix of spaces, leading to inefficiency and frustration.

Lisa Justice, Senior Workplace Strategist, examines real data on meeting room usage and shares insights on how to get the right balance of rooms for your business.

Whether you need private spaces for one-on-one calls, large conference rooms, or flexible collaboration areas, this video provides a data-driven approach to optimising your meeting spaces.

How Much Do Genuinely Great Meeting Rooms Cost?

Is a well-designed meeting space worth the investment? Many businesses struggle with outdated, ineffective meeting spaces, fearing that an upgrade will be too expensive.

In this discussion, Paul Simmons, Head of Technology, and Ashley Walton, National Client Solutions – Pre-Construction, explore what makes a meeting room genuinely great, from cutting-edge technology to ergonomic design, and break down the real costs involved.

The truth is, a well-planned investment in meeting spaces can pay off in productivity, engagement, and long-term savings.

Meeting Rooms as a Service: A Smarter Solution

Did you know that businesses can now refurbish and manage meeting rooms as an operational expense?

In this episode, Mike Mobilia, Head of Finance, explains how businesses can switch to a Meeting Rooms as a Service model, removing the financial and operational burden of maintaining collaboration spaces.

Instead of large capital expenditures, companies can adopt a flexible, subscription-based model that keeps meeting rooms functional, up-to-date, and fully supported.
