Meaningful Meeting Takeaways

Posted on 
August 13, 2024

Recorded webinars, pdfs of slide presentations, meeting transcripts. If you missed the event itself, they amount to little more than detritus, often relegated to the pile of, “I’ll review later,” never to be revisited. Not that there wasn’t meaning or thought that went into these artifacts or that could be distilled out of them. But more often than not, they’re either not enough, or too much: lacking context or losing the forest for the trees.

Links to shared whiteboards aren’t much better. You can see the inputs from participants, but they tend to be everything, everywhere, all at once. Without a guide to talk you through the prompts and discussions surrounding the inputs, it’s easy to get lost and confused in a sea of sticky notes.

What would make meeting artifacts more meaningful and more accessible, both for those who were at the meeting, and for those who weren’t? A visual flow capturing all of the topics, inputs, and decisions, laid out in the order they were discussed. Ideally, auto-generated as soon as you’re done with the meeting, but still editable so you can add annotations and context, if needed. Meahana’s new default takeaways do just that. Want to learn how to use them? See this how-to video. Interested in seeing one in action? Check out this week’s design challenge.
