How to run a meeting that ends in decisions

Start by stating the decision the meeting exists to make. If there is no decision to make, consider whether the meeting is necessary.

Before

• Write the goal as a decision or an outcome
• Share the context in advance so the meeting is for deciding, not catching up

During

Keep discussion tied to the decision. When the group converges, say the decision out loud in one sentence so it is captured clearly in the transcript and the summary.

After

Name each follow-up, its owner and its date before the call ends. Dura AI picks these up automatically, but saying them aloud makes them unambiguous for the people too.
