Training on Effective Minute Writing in the Digital Age

In today’s fast-paced, digital-first work environment, minute writing remains a crucial skill for capturing key decisions, action points, and discussions in meetings. However, traditional methods of minute writing are evolving with digital tools that allow for greater accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration. In an era where organizations are increasingly adopting digital tools and holding both in-person and virtual meetings, the need for precise and efficient minute writing has never been more crucial.

Meeting minutes serve as an official record, capturing the discussions, decisions, and action points that drive organizational operations. They are an essential tool for accountability, follow-up, and compliance with both internal policies and external regulations.
