Inspirometer’s Meeting Metrics work directly with your calendar to automatically set-up feedback for your meetings. It creates space in your meeting invitations to include the meeting purpose and agenda, and uses these to provide context for those providing meeting and participation feedback.

Inspirometer’s Meeting Metrics automatically configures who can provide what kinds of feedback according to your preferences, and links their (freely available) copy of the Inspirometer mobile app to your meeting at the correct time. Simple faces and flags mean that meaningful feedback can be captured in moments.

Inspirometer’s Meeting Metrics stores the feedback with all of the rest of the data concerning your meeting, enabling you to easily analyse patterns in your data and identify simple strategies for improvement.

Both the calendar add-in and the App are installed in seconds, and then work in the background to ensure that your meeting metrics data are complete and easily accessed.

Inspirometer’s dashboard enables the simplest and most intuitive form of feedback possible. It recognises that people will only be able to use the value they perceive from the meeting, and it captures that perception in the click of a face. Single click flags enable them to attribute their perception of value to different aspects of the meeting where appropriate.

The free Inspirometer Meeting Metrics mobile app provides this easy intuitive feedback interface (free of charge and instantly downloadable) to all of your meeting attendees, internal and external, enabling you to develop an instant comprehensive picture of your meeting’s progress and impact. The app presents you with a simple real-time picture of the feedback and gives you the option to share the results with your attendees via their apps, enabling you to promote collective ownership for meeting effectiveness.

Inspirometer’s Meeting Metrics can also capture effortless feedback on shorter meetings. Opportunities to provide feedback that are missed during the day are collated into a simple list on your dashboard. In this way it is quick and simple to run through them at any point in the day with a single click for each, quickly registering your perception of how much value each has added. There is even an option to capture this for meetings which are not enabled for feedback, in the form of a survey of overall meeting effectiveness.

You dashboard also shows you all of your upcoming meetings, and you can add Meeting Metrics feedback to them at any time even if this was not done at the time they were set up. Simply click the ‘add meeting feedback’ and select the meeting you want, or for ad-hoc meetings set up in the moment, add them straight into your dashboard at the time.
