I love the office hours idea!

I’ve been wondering if teams could do something similar, with what I’d call a “reverse meeting.”

So, you and your crew have a publicized time a couple times each week where you get in a meeting room together for a couple hours (laptops and gadgets permitted), and any individual folks who need stuff from more than one of you can stop by and get helped.

When you’re not working with others, you’re free to do your regular old work, but this seems like it could cut down hugely on the need for those kind of disproportionate meetings where one person talks a lot to one person at a time while everyone else stares at each other.

It also encourages people to “gang” their requests and questions for team members into a list, and then get them all dealt with at one time.

Anybody every try something like this?
