We always spend the first 20 minutes of a meeting copying forward the outstanding actions from the previous meeting. Can Silver-Owl help us with that ?
Yes, in two ways. Firstly, there should be no need to copy minutes forward if there has been no change in the information recorded. Typically, minutes copied forward in this way have not been changed – it is only done so that progress can be recorded. Silver-Owl removes the need to do this because progress is recorded against the Actions which are raised with the Minutes. Ideally, the Action status would be updated by the Actionee as the work is done, but even if it is left until the next meeting, this can be done quickly without copying the minute. Two reports can be generated for meetings: the Open Actions report lists any actions which have not been completed, along with the current recorded status the Meeting Progress report lists all the Minutes and the status of any associated Actions. There is therefore no need to copy forward unmodified minutes because the Action Status is recorded and reported separately. Secondly, if a minute has been updated (e.g. corrected or modified) then
