So much of our precious time is wasted in meetings! The Decision and Action (Meeting) Record template saves time. The record is used to agree the purpose of the meeting desired outcomes the process or agenda and criteria for evaluating the success of the meeting (using the POPE tool). As the meeting progresses details of the actions and agreements are recorded in a standard format and distributed to participants before they leave the meeting. This saves time writing waiting for and reading meeting minutes. This template in Microsoft Word format can be used to capture the actions and agreements from meetings. Use it either for hand written notes or or electronic capture during the meeting.
