This is a real issue at big companies. I wonder if there needs to be a standard format where the host starts each issue by quickly saying issue number and relevant people at the beginning. If your working while half listening you can give your full attention from the start of that point.
Something like that gives many people a bunch of productivity back, especially when it's easy to get pulled into a bunch of these type of meetings each day.
if you're not paying attention to the other changes in a change board meeting, it defeats the purpose of having the meeting (the interaction could be done asynchronously) and seems like it defeats the purpose of reviewing changes at all (besides audit compliance)
I've had to sit in on these things almost weekly at a previous job. I represented one small department and I wasn't a manager, just someone who knew the tech and needed to do the explaining (or was asked to at least) for the incidents.
Nothing the other departments discussed (which 95% of the call was dedicated to) was relevant for my job at all, and was at best, mildly interesting, so I tried to get other work done during it as best as I could, but it was super distracting, and I always had to half listen for my department to be mentioned.
