The best meeting follow-up is not a recap. It is a receipt. It confirms what was decided, who owns what, and when everyone agreed it would happen.
- Start with the decisions, not the discussion.
- Assign owners by name.
- Include dates wherever possible.
- Flag unresolved questions before they become surprises.
| Section | Example wording |
|---|---|
| Decision | We agreed to proceed with option B for the first release. |
| Owner | Marta will send the final copy by Wednesday. |
| Risk | The launch date depends on approval by Friday. |
| Open question | Still pending: confirmation on legal review timing. |
A meeting without a follow-up is just workplace theater with better lighting.
