Many Western Sydney University staff have to run meetings and take minutes, yet have never received formal training in either skill. Some staff find meetings difficult to manage; they find it hard to get actions done and some find that their original training hasn't equipped them to take the kind of minutes the modern university requires.
This is a highly practical course that emphasises saving time in meetings. Participants are given many tips and formats to adapt for their own use.
The full day program looks at the whole process of a meeting.
Learning objective:
-----------------------
• Knowing your responsibilities as a convenor and being able to write a sensible and very useful agenda
• Knowing how to save time in your meetings
• Being able to solve typical meeting problems like managing people popping in and out; straying from the agenda and managing difficult behaviour
• Being able take more succinct minutes by knowing what to put in and what to leave out of minutes. Knowing how to get the minutes out quickly
• Understanding what records are expected to be kept on the committee file and how the Government Information Public Access Act (2009) will have an impact on the minutes you take.
