Case Study: a leading web design company improves productivity by reducing meeting overload with CleverControl

How Regular Meetings Can Affect Productivity

CleverControl worked with a leading web design company that had grown from a five-person startup into a larger team with more complex projects and more frequent meetings. As the company added daily briefs, monthly meetings, and ad hoc discussions, one senior employee’s productivity dropped, and the director wanted to understand why.

Using CleverControl’s activity monitoring, website tracking, and events log, the director reviewed the employee’s computer activity and found that each meeting was followed by long periods of inactivity and unproductive browsing or games. CleverControl helped reveal that the employee was introverted and needed time to refocus after meetings, so the company reduced his required meetings and cut back on briefs, which improved the workflow fit for the team.
