Meeting Minutes and Green Vegetables
What do Meeting Minutes and Green Vegetables have in common?
An analogy occurred to me whilst participating in an "effective meetings" program. One of the recommendations given at the end of the exercise was that we need to produce minutes for all meetings. It occurred to me that this is like telling a child they must eat their green vegetables. Yes, we all know they are good for us, but that doesn't make them any easier to take. As you may know, the key to getting the vegetables off the plate is to make it fun. That is where CAAP enters the picture. CAAP is an integrated add-in for Microsoft® Outlook® for taking and publishing meeting minutes. I wouldn't go so far as suggest CAAP makes taking minutes fun, but CAAP definitely makes taking minutes less of a chore.
I am looking for Beta testers to help shape this tool. You can learn more and download the tool here: http://tpassist.com/caap.
