IMS

Ineffective Meeting Syndrome or IMS is the automatic selection of a calendar invite without any conscious thought. Choosing a meeting because you lack the creativity to think about how else to get what you need to be accomplished. Resulting in meetings without agendas, purpose, interest or follow-up.

This morning I fell asleep in front of my coworkers from a bad case of IMS.

The all-hands meeting had over half the team lined up for the bathroom from IMS.
