"Did We Just Have A Good Meeting? I'm Not Sure." (8): Document VitalTalks

About Us

Step 3: Document VitalTalks
(Thanks again to Richard Hawkes, Change Leader & CEO of Growth River and his article “How Do You Know You Had A Great Meeting?”)


I’ll just keep it short today and say that frequently there are effective meetigns in terms of content and discussion but progress is lost by not tracking topics that were discussed, decisions that were made, commitments that were declared, requests that were accepted, etc.

After the meeting, the meeting’s leader should send out summary notes to all of the participants that include:

• A restatement of the meeting’s purpose
• A list of critical issues that were covered with clear assignment of the issue’s  owner, description of advancement and any commitments that were made (by whom, to whom, by when)
• When are we meeting next?
