I also find that because an email is so much easier to send than drafting a memo, people do not plan nearly as well as they did in the “memo days.&# So, I’d say email has affected the quality of organizational planning and execution as well.

The fourth and first quarters of the year is when the planning happens which I guess means that the work gets done in the second and third quarters.  If it’s a planning meeting, bring a skilled facilitator in to assist with meeting design, running the flow of the meeting and documenting the follow up.
