Enterprises are paying over $130 million a year in Meeting Debt, the compounding cost of wasted time, failing technology, and the rework bad meetings generate. Yet just as meeting culture hits its lowest point, meetings are becoming the most valuable hour of the working day: as AI absorbs production work, human judgment and business momentum concentrate in the room. Drawing on new global research from the Jabra Research Institute (including data from India, one of the world's most meeting-intensive and AI-forward workforces) Holger Reisinger, SVP of Jabra's Video Business Unit, argues that the meeting room is transforming from a cost center into the organization's most important data catchment: the place where knowledge is created, captured, and paid forward into everything AI builds next. The quality of the room now determines the quality of the intelligence.
