This course provides you with an overview of the three main stages of minute-taking.
Minute-taking is an essential way of documenting the decisions made during business meetings. Given that minutes are legal documents, they require a careful balance of stakeholder consensus, subject-matter expertise, and clarity on what each decision means for your organisation.
In this half-day foundational workshop, participants will gain an introduction to managing their minutes across the three distinct stages of minute-taking: planning, drafting and editing.
The content includes discussion of best practices in minute-taking, case studies, and participants’ experiences, along with several hands-on exercises. These are designed to hone participants’ skills in key areas such as active listening, and editing for clarity and conciseness.
The workshop also addresses various issues that can impact the clarity and consistency of minutes, often within the same organisation. These include:
The training uses examples drawn from various sectors and different disciplines, including HR, operations and business development.
If your organisation’s work affects large stakeholder groups, budgets, and services, fostering a culture of keeping correct, concise minutes is essential. This workshop will set you and your team on that path.
