#ELMO
Gracefully cut short discussions that go in circles.
Saving Time
"Enough, Let’s Move On" – Behind these four letters lies the idea that in meetings, you sometimes reach a point in discussions where you think: "Come on, let’s move on." With ELMO, you can express this feeling in a charming way and save valuable time.
Stay structured
ELMO helps maintain the structure of a meeting: Meetings (hopefully) have a specific goal and usually a limited time budget. The time is often just enough to reach the meeting's objective. When additional (often relevant) topics come up, time tends to run out. ELMO keeps the focus on the original goal, ensuring you reach it, rather than opening up new topics.
Achieving more together
ELMO changes group dynamics: We often see that introverted individuals endure long, drawn-out meetings without speaking up. They may not have the strength or courage to intervene. With ELMO, they are given an easy way to signal, “I think we’re getting off track, folks.” This reinforces the self-efficacy that we value so highly.
This is how #ELMO works
No more jumping from one topic to the next. With ELMO, you signal: "Is this good enough, can we move on to the next point?" We’ve all been in meetings that get stuck on details. People often jump from one topic to another, and if we look closely, it’s usually the same individuals. It can feel rude to constantly interrupt them, but with a fun Sesame Street character lying in the middle of the meeting table (or on your desk during remote meetings), it becomes much more charming. You simply hold it up or show it on camera, everyone shares a quick smile, and just like that, a talker is politely interrupted or a detailed discussion is wrapped up.
