Effective Minute Taking - Edinburgh

Overview

When decisions are challenged, minutes are the evidence. In an environment of increasing transparency and regulatory oversight, the record of a meeting is as important as the meeting itself. If a decision isn’t properly recorded, in the eyes of regulators and the courts, it often never happened. Taking command of the record ensures that your minutes stand as a clear, compliant, and strategically valuable account of the organisation’s actions and intent.

What you'll learn

As the professional body for governance, CGIUKI sets the benchmark for effective minute taking. This course develops the skills and judgement to produce clear, accurate, and legally robust minutes that withstand scrutiny. 

Delegates will learn how to prepare for meetings, manage complex discussions, and draft minutes that provide a reliable, impartial record of decisions, actions, and rationale to protect both the organisation and its decision-makers.  You will gain a "toolkit" of modern techniques, from navigating the Chair and Minute Taker relationship to utilising AI and technology.
