AGENDA

Explanation

When is an agenda prepared?

While organizing a formal meeting, the initial step step is to analyse the need for the meeting. Once it is finalised, it is mandatory to prepare an agenda so that the discussion of the meeting would be fruitful.

How is an agenda prepared?

An agenda is prepared well ahead of the meeting by getting inputs from the invitees by the organizer. Then, it is circulated at least 48 hours in advance among the participants in order to have an effective discussion or brainstorming. Last minute additions are permitted with the permission of the chairperson.

When an agenda is prepared, the following points should be kept in mind.

Clear purpose or objective of the meeting

Topics for discussion should be sorted out

Each point should have a presenter or leader with relevant points

Time limit should be mentioned

List of attendees should be given

Before the meeting, the attendees are usually provided with all the data and the inputs that would be taken for discussion so that they can come prepared with additional inputs or objections. This will help the meeting to be productive and less time consuming.

The agenda varies with each meeting. But mostly the format will be the same.
