How to Use This Template
Follow these practical steps to customize and roll out this procedure with your team:
1. Set the purpose first
Write one sentence stating what decision or outcome the meeting must produce.
2. Assign an owner per item
Every agenda item and action needs one named owner, not a team.
3. Record decisions, not just discussion
Write down what was decided, by whom, and by when it must happen.
4. Circulate within one working day
Send the completed record to all attendees while the discussion is still fresh.
About This Template
Starting from a blank page wastes time and produces inconsistent results. This template gives you a professionally structured starting point with the right sections, formatting, and placeholders already in place, so you can focus on the content, not the layout. Customise it once and reuse it forever.

Yes, that is the point. Replace every blue [bracketed field] with your own details, add or remove rows to fit, then set the font colour to the same dark colour throughout for the finished document (body #1F2937, headings #1E3A8A, secondary #595959).
Can I share this with my team?
Yes, it is free for team use. Customise one master copy with your company details, then distribute it as your internal standard.
What software do I need?
Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice for the Word file. Any PDF reader opens the print-ready PDF.
How do I make it look like our branding?
Swap the accent colours and add your logo to the header. The structure stays the same; the styling becomes yours in a few minutes.
