Both formal and informal meetings are taking place every day in any organisation, but who is taking and recording the minutes from these meetings? Are accurate records of key business decisions being recorded?

Who were the key decision makers? Does anyone know what happened in the meeting and what decisions were made and carried? What ideas were discussed and motioned? Are your business units effectively implementing decisions made after the meeting?
