Explore with Eric, our innovation manager, tips with Microsoft 365 to clarify roles and responsibilities after meetings to avoid spending your week following up, repeating, and reclarifying tasks.
Shall we keep going? In the next video, we explore the impact of repetitive tasks on your team’s productivity.
What Eric describes, you’ve probably already experienced. You leave a meeting, everyone is on the same page. Or at least, that’s what you think. A few days pass and you realize that no one has moved forward on what you considered a priority. Not because people didn’t want to. Because what seemed clear during your meeting wasn’t really clear once they got back to their desk.
The problem is that decisions made in meetings often stay in your team’s heads or in personal note-taking tools like OneNote that no one else sees. There’s no assigned task, no clear deadline, no record of decisions accessible to the entire team. The result… you end up following up, repeating, reclarifying. And you spend your week managing what should have been settled from the start.
When roles and responsibilities are visible, not just assumed, follow-ups decrease and your team moves forward more autonomously. Structuring your team is precisely what makes the difference.
