Method and apparatus for generating a meeting efficiency index

A system for generating a meeting efficiency index, comprising:

• a receiver that receives a request from an organizer via a computing device to organize a meeting to be attended by the organizer and one or more attendants of one or more organizations;
• and
• a processor operatively connected to the receiver via a communication network, wherein the processor is configured to:
• access a database to obtain management data, organizational behavior data, and psychological data corresponding to the requested meeting in response to the received request;
• apply an algorithm to combine the obtained management data, organizational behavior data, and the psychological data to determine a meeting efficiency index (MEI) for the requested meeting, wherein the MEI is a normalized measure to determine how effective the meeting will be in achieving its purpose;
• cause a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device to display the MEI in conjunction with calendar item onto;
• and
• receive input data whether to accept or reject the meeting based on the MEI.

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions for generating a meeting efficiency index, wherein, when executed, the instructions cause a processor to perform the following:

• causing a receiver to receive a request from an organizer via a computing device to organize a meeting to be attended by the organizer and one or more attendants of one or more organizations;
• accessing a database to obtain management data, organizational behavior data, and psychological data corresponding to the requested meeting in response to the received request;
• applying an algorithm to combine the obtained management data, organizational behavior data, and the psychological data to determine a meeting efficiency index (MEI) for the requested meeting, wherein the MEI is a normalized measure to determine how effective the meeting will be in achieving its purpose;
• causing a graphical user interface (GUI) of the computing device to display the MEI in conjunction with calendar item onto;
• and
• receiving input data whether to accept or reject the meeting based on the MEI.
