Description

Minutes are not an administrative chore; they are the only living memory of the meeting. Yet the task is often given to someone with little knowledge of the content or context, and with little support. It is not surprising that many say they 'hate' taking minutes. Minutes need to give clearly-defined outcomes (the decision and action) as well as explain and evidence them. They need to be a useful record and drive outcomes for those in the group, be clear to readers outside the meeting, and create the audit trail to demonstrate good governance. Whether you take notes, or work from a transcript, it's important to know what each part of a meeting is for, the information that is needed for the minutes and how to present it appropriately. This is particularly important where the chairing is weak and the meeting is poorly focused as a result.AI generally only gives a summary of what was said and done but, with careful prompts can provide useful information for the minutes. Its power, when combined with the minute-taker's knowledge, is formidable if you wish to use it.The training doesn't just show you what to do, it supports your learning with realistic examples and practical exercises to develop your skill and confidence.,,
Anyone who wants to improve their note-taking and general quality of their minutes, or who will be starting to take minutes. It is appropriate for business meetings as well as charity, social clubs, etc.
