PRESS RELEASE
New Minute Taking Course to Address Skill Deficit
in Public and Private Sectors

High Performance Training* is to introduce a new course in Minute Taking on Friday, October 28th next which aims to make good an ongoing deficit in one of the oldest business and administration skills.

Minute Taking is a skill that most organisations take for granted, yet which few actually possess at the required level of effectiveness and know-how.

The written record is a vital area of effective administration and by its very nature has been resistant to the technological advances that have transformed all other office tasks.

Yet those charged with maintaining minutes of meetings almost invariably have no formal training whatever. This makes the task more difficult and time-consuming than it need be, and the end result frequently falls short of the ideal.

‘Minute Taking Made Easy’ addresses these issues by providing participants with the skills to make a more accurate record with less effort. It improves writing skills and helps identify, and avoid, potential pitfalls.

The course is presented Sarah Marriott, journalist and lecturer on sub-editing on the MA in Journalism at Dublin Institute of Technology.
