A meeting with an ending

Help a short discussion lead to a shared next step.

Original practical exercise

  1. Choose the outcome

    State what must be decided or clarified. If the goal is sharing information, consider whether a short note would serve it.

  2. Bring the question

    Give people the context they need before asking them to choose.

  3. Leave room for disagreement

    Ask what has not been considered. Record an unresolved concern rather than treating quiet as agreement.

  4. Close the loop

    Summarise the decision, owner, next action, and unresolved question. Ask whether that matches what others heard.

Take a moment

Could a person who missed the meeting understand its result?
