Many people attend meetings for everyday work, however they are not always taught how to take professional-standard minutes. As a result, they can end up in a situation where no-one wants to be responsible for minute-taking, leading to meetings lacking focus, improper record-keeping and inadequate follow-up.

On completion of this masterclass, participants can use this skill to make their working lives easier. Whether you work for a large corporation, a small business, government or a not-for-profit, good minute-taking processes will give your meetings better direction, free up meeting members to participate in discussion, and ensure all follow-up is adequately captured.
