I'd love to run a management course based entirely on lessons from Monty Python.
The subject of meetings could probably be covered simply with scenes from the Life of Brian. For example, to cover the topic of action theatre (lectures on the importance of action that don't really support action) I'd have to use this clip:

You're kidding - I've had the exact same idea.
You could teach them:
* Customer service (Dead parrot)
* Conflict resolution (I'd like to buy an argument...)
* Diversity management (4 Bruces)
* Strategy (Society for putting things on top of other things)
nd then there's a whole 'nother course based on The Office :o)

There might also be a lesson or two on how to treat employees in Faulty Towers...
