MEETING FOLLOW-UP · Workflow idea

Capture the decisions and next steps while the conversation is still fresh.

For a team authorized to process its meeting recordings and transcripts, organize the discussion into a concise recap, action items, and a client-ready email draft. Tell participants when recording or transcription is used, restrict access to the source and notes, and check names, commitments, dates, and context against the original. Keep the recap private until a meeting owner approves its recipients and exact wording.
