Set the meeting follow-up scope

Track Meeting Follow-Up Actions starts with a written boundary. Name the request, the source, the owner, and the evidence. A clear rule keeps routine coordination separate from executive judgment.

The main risk is that an action can be discussed and then lost. Record the source and time before changing a status.

Capture the evidence

A usable record includes meeting, decision, action, owner, due date, and completion. Keep the source beside the record so another reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

The executive assistant confirms the decision or exception. The assistant can capture actions, send reminders, and route decisions, but should not fill a gap with an assumption.

Separate preparation from judgment

Decisions about executive priorities and commitments remain with the authorized owner. Use three labels: proceed, pause for missing evidence, and escalate.

Run the review

Review open actions, overdue items, and missing owners. For example, a decision is made without a follow-up owner. Record what evidence was available and who owned the next step.

Pilot one workflow

Start with one meeting. Test the checklist on a small batch and review exceptions with the owner.
