Making Moments Matter
Tracking Events make story telling easier. Taking note of outcomes from tasks and milestones in every project can reveal paths for measuring progress.
It is good to take meeting notes and recordings but beyond that, smart business leaders connect the dots from outcomes of each meeting for delivering success.
Data from the people, process and technology provides better insights.
Learning from Agenda
Successful meetings take place when every attendee is adequately prepared for agenda. It is important for attendees to gather their own notes ahead of time and compare with conversations that take place during meetings. Moderators can learn a lot by consulting attendees for meeting notes. One smart way of doing this would include sharing a survey to each meeting attendee after every meeting.
Many business leaders miss out on very crucial details when they don't value the feedback from an attendee. Something may have been wrongly said, culture shift might be taking place and most importantly, resolutions may lack sufficient data to back them up.
Attendees that stay mute in virtual meetings equally have useful feedback. Work closely with them as well to learn from agenda.
Making Relevant Progress
After taking steps to learn from agenda, you can make relevant progress only when you put the pieces together.
From each meeting report, classify outcomes by dates, occurrences and numbers that define the strength of each point. When you do this, you would find good metrics to use in telling a story of growth at any level. As a business leader, you would be more successful when you can help your team identify their areas of growth where they never looked by linking matching outcomes and sorting them.
When meeting reports are prepared by different team members, ensure they learn to gather notes from attendees in the same way through the survey process. After doing this, they should make human effort to classify the outcomes before considering the use of Artificial Intelligence driven technologies for developing their report summaries.
It is important to note that Artificial Intelligence should only be used to provide summaries and not detailed reports. It is also best practice to note when summaries are automatically generated from reports prepared by humans with reference to the actual reports.
Learning does not end at meetings or events that sponsor them. It continues to steps taken towards future events.
