The right tool can often be the difference between a successful break through and a stalled effort.

With the challenges of competing in business, the efficiency of meetings can get lost in the daily operations of a company.

To help with this challenge, Christiaan Zeirleyn presents meeting software called Yabu in MLP 106. Yabu streamlines meeting-related tasks to drastically cut meeting times and grant more ownership of individual processes.
