    Thank you for this template idea I'm going to implement this from tomorrow! My minutes are usually quickly squiggled down which I can't read ten minutes later. I like how there's a section for minutes and a section for jotting down everything that's discussed, a section for the action items you derive from the meeting and your own agenda, that way you know what you want to discuss going in and you know what you have to do going out. Simple, effective and innovative! Thank you for this

    When I was year 9 head girl (age 13) in school, i was asked to take minutes, and I had no idea what it meant. So I wrote how many minutes each person spoke for, and confidently handed the page in to the head teacher. She didn't react at all, so I thought I did it right, and moved on...Years later I remember that meeting and I'm still flushed with embarrassment whenever I speak to the head teacher since I now know what minutes are...FML

      Lippy Life, only a year or two younger than that, I was asked by my teacher to remove an electrical plug from an old piece of equipment. My father is an electrician and my teacher knew that, so he assumed I’d know what to do. I proceeded to unscrew all screws but the correct one. Then I started tugging at the cable. By the end of my torture, the entire class we’re watching me, in hysterical laughter, and ignoring the teacher. He finally came over and put me out my misery. We may have got our tasks wrong, you and I, but at least we tried. At least we tried! 🤓

    I've been looking for this kind of video for long and thank you for uploading this. I also love how the template look because if we create our own template like yours did, it would be easy to take minutes of the meeting. I feel like companies in Malaysia didn't do these kinds of templates.
    Every time I searched for simple ones like yours, they always ended up with the difficult ones and I got stressed out.
    Tomorrow I have a meeting and I hope I could take minutes of meeting like this tutorial did. Thanks again for the tutorial.

    Note: In some countries the participants of a meeting expect you to share the meeting agenda and related material BEFORE the actual meeting (e.g. when working with Japanese) so they can prepare and decide on certain points. Often times this is misunderstood and people wonder why the meeting had no clear result or the attendees were not willing to make decisions on the spot.

    • @strategicwhat
      @strategicwhat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You're totally right, Marcus. Preparation is key for any meeting. There is a clear advantage in creating an agenda before the meeting and circulating that, so people are more prepared for the discussion. However, some corporate cultures don't accommodate that, unfortunately. I've seem many organizations just trying to get things done on the fly, and they end up spinning their wheels not knowing what's going on. Needless to say, the better prepared you are for the meeting (especially, if you are running the meeting) the better for everyone around you. Thanks for bringing this point up.

    • @fuzzylogics139

  • @Memoir_of_My_Own

    It is very helpful before I jump to my next work of doing minutes taking for the first time. But can you help clarify how to differentiate the meeting notes from action items and agenda items? what exactly are to put in the meeting notes section? Thank you!

    • @strategicwhat
      @strategicwhat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      In the meeting notes you just summarize decisions, or discussion points people had during the meeting. This is something like creating a point of reference, so the participantes can refer back to the minutes if some discussion arrizes. For example, someone asks you, "when did we decided this?". You can look back at the minutes and say "we did in such and such meeting, when we talked about a, b and c." or say "actually, it seems we have never decided anything about this. On day x, we talk about a, on day y, about b, and on day z, about c... but no decision was made. remember that?" So you joggle peoples memory through the minutes. Get the idea?
      In regards to action items, as the meeting progresses, whenever someone becomes responsible for something, you note it down. Many times, when you get at the end of the meeting, people will appreciate if you read a summary of all the actions and who is responsible for them. This will help keep things organized for your manager, too.
      Notes are summary points and decisions. Actions are tasks assigned to people.
      Cheers!

  • @manedwolf369
    @manedwolf369 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Awesome, thanks for that simple explanation! But what happens afterwards? Are you writing it into a document digitally and hand that around to the other participants? How would you structure that document?

    • @strategicwhat
      @strategicwhat  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Hi, in broad terms it all depends on how information is shared in your organization. For me, in the past, in more informal settings, I would just take a picture of the minutes and circulate it within the team. However, in more formal settings, where a record of the decisions was necessary, I would type a summary of the minutes in an email (or word doc) and circulate with the participants.
      As you can see in the video, my writing is not one of the best. So, sometimes if I need to make it really clear what's discussed, I would go the extra step and transcribe them. This way people could read and refer back to the items discussed.
      My main consideration is always to capture as much as I can from the meeting when it's happening. Next, I would check to who would consume the minutes, who would be reading it. Then, I would decide how much effort I would invest in making them readable and available in other formats -- when necessary.
      If you are in doubt, I encourage you to not overdo it. To start, just do the minimum necessary and ask for feedback. Remember: Minutes are not a PhD thesis, so keep it simple, short and sweet. Move swiftly along to the next meeting and improve as you go.

    Thank you for sharing this! So helpful and clear! One question- is there a reason it's structured to have the initial notes on the right side, rather than the left? Or just a preference? Generally people work from left to write, so I was wondering if there was a reason you did it this way.

    • @strategicwhat
      @strategicwhat  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Jillian, Thanks for the question. This template was originated from the way I took notes on my notebook during my meetings. On the right page of the notebook, I would always have the meeting attendants, agenda and a space for the action items. On the left, I was always free to go crazy writing the main points of what we were discussing. When I designed this template, I ran it through some friends and got the final format. In the end, having one thing over one side or the other was just my personal preference. Feel free to move things around as you wish and use this template as a starting point for your own design. My goal was to help people have a better way to document their meetings. Great question! Cheers, Rodrigo

      The parking lot is used to "park" or put aside topics that weren't initially included in the agenda, so these new items don't take the focus away from your meeting.
      When you download the minutes pdf, you will get an email with a little more information about it.

    What's your opinion on taking minutes from a recording?

    • @strategicwhat

      Hi David, that's a very good question. There are a few things to consider: [1] when recording a meeting, make sure you have everyone's permission to do so. It would be terrible to find out you shouldn't be recording the meetings after the fact and getting in trouble for it. [2] Although recording would provide you an opportunity to capture ipsis litteris what every person has said, I personally prefer to capture the decision points and sumarize the conversation as it happens, than listen to the recording producing a verbose someone-said-this-the-other-person-replied-this type of minutes. [3] I would prefer to capture the information at the moment of the discussion and have the opportunity to ask people for clarification. This benefits other people in the room who may also be confused with what's being discussed, but don't get a chance to ask questions. You could always use the recording later on to provide a bit more accuracy to your notes, but nothing replaces the interaction as it happens. [4] and final point, minutes are not written on stone and you can always circulate them with the meeting participants asking if there is anything they want to add or remove before you archive the minutes or distribute it to a wider audience. 98% of the time, no one will say anything, but when they do, it's usually an important point that was missed or not captured correctly. So, that's it. My two cents. If you go to my page and download the template, you'll receive a sequence of emails with a few more tips. One of them addresses the issue of recording in more detail. I'll post the download link again in the comments for your reference. I hope that helps. Cheers!

      @daviddavis8053 here it is the link mentioned above: rodrigocaetano.com/meeting-minutes-template/ Once you download the minutes, you'll receive an emailed called "Taking Notes in Fast-Moving Meetings" a couple days after downloading the minutes.

      So I agree with most of you reply and actually use most of these techniques now. Asking questions during, sending out a follow up email to confirm.
      It is good to speak with the boss/client on what kind of minutes are expected. Bullet points from a detailed meeting or detailed notes about the budget. If nothing is said, more minutes the better.
      There is also being a human being, haha. We're bound to miss a few things, so the recording helps with that.
      Most meetings are on zoom or teams today anyhow. So recording is not as big a deal as before, so long as everything is kept confidential.

      @@daviddavis8053 It seems you are perfectly on the right track. Using the Zoom recordings to check and recover important information is the way to go. The only extra thing I do differently is to flush (i.e. delete all) the recordings from time to time. Maybe it is just me being overzealous, but I don't like keeping these files indeterminately, especially if I don't need them anymore. I feel you never know where they will end up months from now (let's say in a case of a tech breach) and I'd rather keep private information private. But, that's just my process. Feel free to use something that works well for you.
      Thanks a lot for the comments and feedback. That's very much appreciated.
      Cheers!
