I wrote a lot of minutes and no one knew what to do.
The discussion process was complete, but there was no person responsible or time for the action items.
GEN-02｜Meeting minutes and post-meeting follow-up
How does a one-hour meeting turn into resolutions, owners, and tracking sheets?
Use a mock meeting transcript to practice distinguishing between background discussions, formal resolutions, to-do items, risks, and open issues. A meeting action list will be delivered in class that can be reviewed by the person in charge of the meeting.
90–120 minutesImpersonation or authorization recordSeparate resolutions from to-dosReview by the person in charge
Let’s see what happens in class first ↓01Keep only key actions from long recordsFour categories: resolutions, to-dos, risks, and open issues
02Complete responsibility information for each taskOwners, deadlines, dependencies and deliverables
03Will continue to update after the meetingCompletion status, reason for change, and reviewer

01 / Why is this happening?
It’s not clear who did what after the meeting because discussions, decisions, and tasks are all mixed up
A lot of background, suggestions and temporary ideas were discussed at the meeting, and the actual final decision was often not uniformly marked; the person in charge and the deadline were often understood by default.
Recommendation mistakenly written as formal decision
AI easily merges words with similar tones, causing misunderstandings of responsibility.
Changes after the meeting were not recorded
After the deadline or the responsible person is adjusted, the old minutes are still circulating.
02 / How do we solve it
First distinguish the four categories of content, and then ask the person in charge to confirm
Divide the meeting minutes into formal resolutions, to-do tasks, risks, and open issues; add the person responsible, deadline, and deliverables for each task, and confirm them with the host or person in charge before sending them.
resolution list
Only record decisions that are clearly confirmed at the meeting, with the original evidence attached.
action tracking sheet
Tasks, responsible persons, deadlines, dependencies and status are complete.
Risks and open issues
Questions without a conclusion will not be forced to generate answers.
Review records
Distribute after confirmation by the moderator or person in charge of the matter.
Audio recordings, transcripts and meeting content must be authorized by the enterprise. In the classroom, existing written records or clear and identifiable Mandarin audio are used; when encountering dialects, multiple people talking, and workshop noise, the key original words are manually corrected first, and then an action list is generated. Sensitive meetings are handled in an environment approved by the company, and the minutes are reviewed by the moderator or person in charge before being sent.
03 / Division of labor between man and machine
AI is responsible for sorting, and humans are responsible for facts, permissions and decisions
Writing down the division of labor clearly will not only reduce repeated revisions, but also prevent AI from making judgments for people that they shouldn’t make.

04 / Experience process
From the opening challenge to the landing challenge
There are 5 minutes before and after, using different small scenarios to check the same group of abilities; in the middle, a real work-style exercise is completed.
Looking for trouble at the beginning
Look for a place in the minutes where the recommendation becomes a decision.
On-site tidying up
Organize simulation meeting clips into four categories of lists.
Review by the person in charge
Randomly check resolutions, responsible persons and dates.
Implementation challenge
Complete the action sheet independently with the new meeting clip.
