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.

The course on Effective Minute Writing in the Digital Age responds to the evolving nature of business communication, where meetings are no longer confined to boardrooms but extend to virtual platforms, and where digital tools offer opportunities to enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and accessibility of meeting records. Participants will be introduced to best practices for writing clear, concise, and actionable minutes while leveraging digital platforms like Microsoft Teams, Google Docs, SharePoint, and other cloud-based tools.

This training is ideal for executive assistants, secretaries, administrative professionals, office managers, and team leaders who are tasked with minute-taking for various types of meetings. The course is also ideal for legal, HR, and governance professionals who manage formal records and need to ensure compliance and confidentiality in meeting documentation.
