Our department is nine members - we've split the staff into the business systems team and the infrastructure team. We have a Wednesday departmental meeting, which the IT Director has managed to pare down to approximately 1/2 hour. That meeting covers news of the business as a whole, plus anything that is going on in the department that might impact others. No set agenda. I have also instituted, as the newly christened Supervisor for the IF team (promoted in October, yea for me), a regular Friday afternoon meeting (13:00) for me and my three charges. It is slated to last a full hour, but is often over before that. However, I plan on introducing instruction and demos at this meeting - I'll be requiring each member to come up with a topic, in rotation. I figure it'll be good for them, and I might learn something too.
