Questions about meeting packs
What the document is, and what happens when you put one through here.
How do I write a pre-read for a meeting?
State the purpose and the decision needed first, then the background, the options and your recommendation, on one page if you can. Upload your notes or slides and MakeOnepagers builds a pre-read you can edit before sending.
How do I summarize a long meeting pack so people actually read it?
Put a one page summary on top: what the meeting must decide, the key facts and what you recommend. Make it as a One-Pager from the full pack.
How do I make a one page briefing for a leadership meeting?
Lead with the decision or update, add the three facts that matter and the risks, and end with the ask. Print it for the room or send it as a link.
What is a pre-read?
The papers sent out before a meeting so people arrive having done the reading.
What is Amazon's six page memo?
Amazon writes narratively structured six page memos instead of slides, and reads one in silence at the start of each meeting. Amazon, 2017 letter to shareholders
Why read it in the room?
Because sending a pre-read is not the same as it being read. Reading it together removes the assumption.
