Six suggestions to make conference calls more effective

by Editors on June 18, 2007

Law department consulting guru Rees Morrison notes a post about making conference calls more effective – certainly a topic of interest to all in-house counsel:

A post on a blog of Legal Week, reprinted in Legal Week, Vol. 9, May 24, 2007, at 20, reminds us of four ways to improve conference calls. The first: call in on time. “More often than not, the first 15 minutes of any call are spent waiting for other participants to join, trying to contact them by e-mail or on another line.”

InhouseBlog has a couple other suggestions:

  • No conference calls should be scheduled after lunch on a Friday in June, July or August; and
  • No one should be permitted to dial in from the game room at Sesame Place using a 1980s vintage cell phone (the ones that have shoulder straps).
