1 Choose a note-taking method

When taking meeting notes, there are various methods and tools you can use, such as pen and paper, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or voice recorder. The best method for you depends on your personal preference, the type of meeting, and the availability of technology. Nevertheless, you should always adhere to some general guidelines. Utilize a consistent format and structure for your notes, like headings, bullet points, numbering, or tables. Make sure to write down the date, time, location, purpose, agenda, and attendees of the meeting. Additionally, highlight the main points, decisions, and action items from the meeting by using keywords, abbreviations, or symbols. Leave some space for additional comments, questions, or feedback. Finally, review and edit your notes as soon as possible after the meeting while the information is fresh in your mind.

Na minha experiência, é importante selecionar um método de anota??o que se adapte tanto ao seu estilo pessoal quanto às necessidades da equipe. Métodos populares incluem o uso de cadernos digitais como o Evernote ou OneNote, que oferecem facilidade de acesso e compartilhamento. Para aqueles que preferem métodos tradicionais, um caderno físico ainda pode ser muito eficaz, desde que as anota??es sejam posteriormente digitalizadas ou resumidas para distribui??o.

Em minha experiência no agronegócio, a eficácia na anota??o de reuni?es e acompanhamento de itens de a??o é crucial para o alinhamento entre stakeholders em projetos estratégicos. Optar por um método estruturado de anota??es, como utilizar sistemas digitais ou plataformas colaborativas, facilita a organiza??o e recupera??o de informa??es. Manter uma ata de reuni?o detalhada, incluindo discuss?es, decis?es e responsabilidades atribuídas, é fundamental. Isso n?o apenas assegura que todos os participantes estejam alinhados, mas também fornece um registro claro para referência futura.

OneNote!!! I cannot say enough for OneNote. Capturing attendees (for smallerish meetings) is a breeze (I do wish it would connect to attendees in other tools like it did with Skype). I love it showing if someone accepted or declined a meeting in one place for accountability. It sends via email like a dream. Also, being able to add a signature (should be easier to find though on how to update it)

2 Assign and track action items

The most essential outcome of any meeting is the action items, which are the particular tasks that need to be completed by someone by a certain deadline. To ensure the action items are clear, measurable, and achievable, you should follow the SMART criteria: they should be specific, quantifiable in terms of progress or completion, realistic and feasible based on available resources, relevant to the goals and objectives of the meeting and organization, and have a reasonable deadline. To track the action items, you can use a simple spreadsheet, project management software, or task management app. Additionally, you should update the status of the action items regularly and communicate with responsible parties and stakeholders.

Uma coisa que acredito ser útil é designar claramente cada item de a??o a uma pessoa específica, com um prazo definido, durante a reuni?o. Utilizar ferramentas de gerenciamento de projetos como o Trello, Asana, ou um simples documento compartilhado no Google Docs pode ajudar a equipe a visualizar o progresso e garantir a responsabilidade.

Again, OneNote! Create a template that captures the action, the due date, and when sending it via Outlook being able to tag someone (and it auto adds them to the to line) is such an easy way to call attention to it!

3 Follow up with a meeting summary

A meeting summary is a concise and comprehensive document that summarizes the main points, decisions, and action items from the meeting. To create an effective meeting summary, you should begin with your meeting notes, rephrasing and organizing them in a clear and logical way. Include the date, time, location, purpose, agenda, and attendees of the meeting, as well as any changes or deviations from the plan. Highlight key outcomes and conclusions such as problems solved, opportunities identified, goals achieved or feedback received. Furthermore, list action items with responsible parties, deadlines and expected results. After the meeting is complete, send the summary to all participants and relevant stakeholders within 24 hours. Ask for confirmation or clarification of any information in the summary and make changes if necessary. Through this process you will be able to take meeting notes and follow up on action items more effectively and efficiently. This will help you improve your productivity, performance, and professionalism in your agribusiness career.

é importante analisar a eficácia de enviar um resumo da reuni?o a todos os participantes logo após sua conclus?o. Este resumo deve incluir os principais pontos discutidos, decis?es tomadas e uma lista de itens de a??o com os respectivos responsáveis e prazos. Baseado em observa??es do setor, essa prática n?o só ajuda a manter todos na mesma página, mas também refor?a a importancia dos compromissos assumidos durante a reuni?o.

Here are some effective ways to do this: 1. During the Meeting: - Capture key points discussed, decisions made, and action items assigned. - Use shorthand and bullet points to keep up with the pace of the meeting. - Record who is responsible for each action item and any deadlines mentioned. 2. Using Technology: - Consider using note-taking apps or software that allow for easy organization and sharing of notes. - Use project management tools to track action items, deadlines, and progress. 3. Continuous Improvement: - Regularly review meeting notes and follow-up actions to identify patterns or areas for improvement in future meetings.

Consider reading articles, watching videos and asking folks whose meeting note you admire/respect for tips! Lean into your peers/leaders who do a great job at taking and disseminating notes in a timely manner (also, people love to hear they are doing something impressive)! Try out different methods to find that sweet spot. Biggest thing, regardless - send them out in a timely manner!!

Além dessas estratégias, é aconselhável também estabelecer um protocolo para revis?es regulares dos itens de a??o. Isso pode ser feito através de reuni?es de acompanhamento específicas ou como parte da agenda de reuni?es regulares da equipe. Ter um sistema para marcar itens como concluídos e revisar os que est?o pendentes ou atrasados pode ajudar a manter o momentum e garantir que nada caia no esquecimento.

In the corporate world, as a leader you can have several types of meetings elaborated at your workplace. A meeting of all staff, Team Meeting that can have staff and a few stakeholders you work with in your vertical and horizontal linkages, or / and forward and backward linkages. Here the methodology of taking Notes can be varied and tweaked to suit the general nature of the meeting. A meeting for Senior staff functionaries, or Team Management Meeting (Top Mgt Meeting), for key management strategies and decisions and for accountability aspects of resources use and audit trials. There could also be a Multistakeholder Platform Meeting, whereby the Note Takers can be several, including the Media
