I’ll conclude this section with a passage from a blog by Richard Branson, CEO of Virgin:

When given the opportunity I often like to take things a step further—literally, with a walking meeting. I sometimes even set myself a personal challenge of trying to come up with a plan of attack in the time it takes to walk around the block . . . five minutes, go! A lot of time is wasted in meetings. Agendas get forgotten, topics go amiss, and people get distracted. While some circumstances call for workshops and more elaborate presentations, it’s very rare that a meeting on a single topic should need to last more than 5–10 minutes. If you stand up, you’ll find that decisions get made pretty quickly, and no one nods off! Plus, it’s a great way to fit in a bit of exercise and stay focused on a busy day. Another positive about meetings outside the boardroom is a lack of fancy tools, and instead an emphasis on real communication.
