Has anyone tried to deal with meeting attendance inflation with some actual economic scheme? I'm thinking where tokens are distributed and used as payment for someone to attend a meeting. This would force you to think in terms of a budget for how many people-hours of time you are requesting in meetings. Of course management and especially middle management would likely hate this idea but I'm curious if anyone tried it and what the results were.

Just showing people the numbers should help, right? "Do you want to spend $3000 on this meeting?" At one BigCo with a pretty positive reputation, it's a multi-week process involving at least 5 people to try to spend $20 on a software license.

There is this Japanese company where they have some internal token money for everything.

It sounded nightmarish though.
