Download Course OutlineSummary:
For everything from a formal AGM to weekly staff gatherings, minute-takers are expected to provide an accurate record of proceedings, often with no training or guidelines. This can result in minutes that are too sketchy or too detailed; failure to follow up decisions; a lack of evidence for later proceedings; and a waste of many people’s time.
This course will take you through every stage of the process of taking minutes, clarifying objectives and standards. You’ll be equipped with ideas for successful preparation, listening, analysis and note-making and introduced to the principles of clear, effective writing. This event is highly participative and provides an opportunity for every attendee to take notes in an agreed format.
