Produce minutes of meetings

Case Study
In your recent appraisal, your line manager set you the target of learning how to take minutes. There are regular weekly meetings for the whole team, after which minutes are distributed, but Jenny, the manager’s personal assistant normally produces them.
It has been suggested that you take the minutes when Jenny is on holiday, in six weeks’ time.
- How can you prepare for taking the minutes?
- Make a list of all the things you need to ask Jenny.
- How can you make the most of the time you have before Jenny goes away?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
