My starting point is this...

Take the minutes of the last business meeting you had.

Without even asking your boss, publish them on the open web.

Here on Hacker News for example.

After a day or so point this out to your CEO, telling him you will be doing this with _all_ future meetings.

Report back to us what was the result of your happy chat with your CEO.

I think you will find that, sadly, most of us do, indeed, conspire in secret against the interests of the general public at large.
