Meeting preparation: systems & file handoffs
Plan how information enters and leaves the work. Start with approved agenda notes and account summaries and plan a meeting brief with open questions.
Available remotely for local and international enquiries. Platform choice and final scope depend on your requirements.
The project in view
- Start with
- approved agenda notes and account summaries.
- Proposed result
- a meeting brief with open questions.
- A decision to resolve
- private notes outside the intended audience.
This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.
Systems & file handoffs for this project
- Confirm the source format for approved agenda notes and account summaries and the required delivery format for a meeting brief with open questions.
- Carry a stable reference through each handoff so a reviewer can trace private notes outside the intended audience.
- Begin with a reviewed file exchange if a live integration is unnecessary. Confirm system access before promising an integration.
Questions to answer together
- Which file formats or systems must exchange information?
- Who owns access, exports and destination records?
- How will a failed handoff or superseded file be identified?
What to have at the end
A handoff specification covering formats, permissions, ownership and failure handling.
Record the decision on private notes outside the intended audience alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
