How to write an original report?

If you’re a fan of digital tools and spend your days in meetings, the Beesy mobile app will save you an enormous amount of time. Available in iPhone, iPad, iWatch and Web versions, it even works offline, synchronizing all your actions across all your digital media.
With an automatic layout that follows your agenda, intelligent note-taking and task automation from your notes, you can create your meeting minutes in just a few clicks. And if you like the tool, you can also use it to efficiently organize the work of your teams.
How about a short one-and-a-half-minute video of the most important points from your meeting? Or short passages of the meeting’s highlights? It’s a way of revisiting the classic meeting report, capturing your staff’s attention and making workplace exchanges even more human. Everyone can watch the video between tasks during the day.
And to save even more time, you can film yourself directly after the meeting summarizing the key points and decisions made. Then all you have to do is download the video to your computer before sharing it by e-mail or on your team’s WhatsApp group.
If, on the other hand, these digital formats seem too complicated, a simple Excel spreadsheet will do just as well. Particularly if you’ve agreed on a large number of actions during the meeting involving a large number of employees.
In this case, there’s nothing simpler than organizing the work and assigning roles. Create three columns:
- Task name (or number),
- Summary of discussions / objectives
- And responsible for the action to be taken.
At a glance, everyone will be able to see the part that concerns them and consult the corresponding brief without having to go through the whole report.
In any case, whatever format you choose, the important thing is that it meets your needs and habits so that it can be of benefit to as many people as possible.
