Planning Meetings [LO-3] Having just led a meeting, you want to ensure that, unlike many meetings, there is a definite follow-up process to ensure this one had value.

Place the following actions in order of timing, providing a brief explanation for each decision.

● Send minutes and thanks to attending participants.

● Write a comprehensive set of minutes that highlight the main actions agreed upon during the meeting and who has responsibility for each action.

● Contact the stakeholders, share the minutes with them, and brief them on immediate and future outcomes.

● State the date, time, and place of the next meeting.

● Create entries in your calendar to check on interim progress on all agreed actions.

● Send an email to participants and stakeholders in the meeting to update them on progress since the meeting.

● Seek feedback from participants on how the meeting progressed and ask for their ideas on improving productivity in future meetings.

● Seek views on what items need to be included in the agenda for the next meeting.

● Brief, personally, any participants who could not attend the meeting if required to act.
