50-79% online meetings

25-49% online meetings

<25% online meetings

2. Are the right persons traveling for the meetings in terms of efficiency?

Zero-based budgeting approach in meetings or an efficient meeting management policy will ensure that only the persons that need to be there attend the meeting.

Yes

3. Is the time allocated for the meetings adequate based on a clear definition of the meeting aims?

The duration of the trip will also increase the impact. Thus, it should be calculated and optimized to limit the trip over time. For this, the trip should have clear objectives set up to save time, a management strategy to go to the point, etc.

Yes

4. Have you combined different project activities in time to conduct only trip?

Whenever it is possible, combine trips located in the same country or close in time to limit the impact.
