MEETING PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Walk into a meeting with useful context—not unverified assumptions.

For an upcoming meeting, organize available professional background about its attendees and the organizations they represent. Keep source references and uncertainty visible, use only information relevant to the meeting, and have the organizer verify the brief and its recipients before it is shared.
