Four 1hr meetings does not equal one four hour meeting. With the
time it takes for a prior group to clear a room and another group to
enter, achieve quorum, and cover clerical details, you have lost
probably 20 minutes at a minimum. So your four one hour meetings
provide 4*(60-20)=160 minutes of useful time. A four hour meeting
has 4*60-20=220 minutes. You just lost an hour of working time.
Personally, I gained about 4 hours of working time . . .
Seriously, I don't think the overhead is as high as you estimate, but
it's certainly not "zero".
However:
If the 4 meetings were better run and better focused because they had
clear scope, comprehensible agendas, and chairs with enough time to do
the job right, I believe we'd still come out ahead over what we have
now.
