1 day Meeting Minutes Made Easy Workshop - How to Prepare, Organize and Write Good Meeting Minutes with Speed and Clarity
 
Introduction
 
Meetings are important and an inevitable part of business; but like all business group discussion situations, conversations at meetings are often a complicated exchange of information and opinions, both relevant and irrelevant. An untrained person will find it extremely difficult to record minutes of meetings accurately, resulting in consequences that can be detrimental to the interest to the company.
 
Course Objectives:
 
On completing this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Apply the procedures for proper preparation for a meeting;

  • Use the principle and techniques of minutes taking so as to record the proceedings of the meeting accurately;

  • Distinguish relevant from irrelevant points;

  • Recognise definite decisions made and actions required;

  • Exercise sensitivity in the writing process;

  • Manage secretarial responsibilities to chairman and key members for productive meetings

  • Practise group dynamics and synergy at meetings

  1. Types of meetings and reasons for holding meetings
  2. Wish list and concern areas
  3. Meeting Planning Guide

  5. Proper order of drawing up Agenda

  7. Correct format for Agenda and Minutes presentation
  8. Meeting documents - notice of meetings, agenda, chairman's agenda, previous minutes, attendance register, etc.
  9. The purpose of proxy appointments
  10. Professional conduct at meetings
  11. Secretarial duties for meetings
  12. How to decide on importance of business discussed at meetings and to emphasise coverage in minutes
  13. Mistakes and problems encountered in meetings, minutes recording and presentation
  14. Follow-up action and summary
 
Training Methodology:
