Our Minute Taking Process
We follow a proven, structured process that ensures accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery of your meeting minutes.
Step 1: Pre-Meeting Preparation
We review agendas, past minutes, reference documents, and governance requirements.
Step 2: Live Meeting Attendance
Depending on your preference, this step is handled in one of two ways:
- Live attendance: Our professional minute taker attends the meeting virtually or in person to capture discussions, key points, and action items in real time.
- Recording-based minutes: If live attendance is not required, we prepare the minutes from a meeting recording supplied by you, ensuring the same level of accuracy and detail.
Step 3: Draft Minutes Delivery
A professionally formatted draft is delivered within five working days.
Step 4: Revisions & Finalisation
We incorporate feedback and deliver final, polished minutes in your preferred format.
