RTO Provider: 91153 - CRICOS Code: 02672K
greenwichcollege.edu.au
Grow Management Consultants is a small consultancy company specialising in leadership development
services. Staff include the CEO (Paul Burns), Operations Manager (Sally Smith), two Senior
Management Consultants (Bob Downs and Jack Steel) and an Administration and Project Officer
(you). There are also two management consultant contractors (Jane Simms and Leander Duval)
working from the office at least 2 days a week each. All the management consultants travel
extensively across Australia, visiting clients.

Each year the company runs a Leadership Conference. This year’s conference will be held in October
2020 and planning has commenced. The Operations Manager wants to share ideas about conference
topics and to allocate roles and responsibilities in regard to organizing and running the conference.

As the Administration and Project Officer for the company, you are responsible for organising all
meetings. The Operations Manager has sent you the following email to advise of the arrangements for
the meeting about the draft conference program.

July 1, 2020
Dear Administration/Project Officer

As you know, we will be holding our annual Leadership Conference in October 2019 (Leading in the
twentieth century). I want to organise a meeting during the week commencing July 6th, 2019 to
discuss the conference program. I have a number of ideas I would like to share.
Can you please have a look at Bob and Jack’s calendars and identify a time during that week when we
could all meet as soon as possible. Please consider the opportunity for some attendees to participate
remotely. The meeting will need to be for 1 hour, maximum.
Organise coffee on arrival.
Please send an email to all staff as soon as possible advising them of this meeting in accordance with
our meeting policy and procedures. Please let them know what the meeting is about, and ask them to
come along with ideas for conference topics.
Please also advise them that we will be finalising the conference program at the meeting, as well as
allocating roles and responsibilities for organising the conferences. This will include organising a
suitable venue and the catering, as well as the conference speakers. I would also like to plan a series
of meetings over the upcoming months to ensure that we are keeping on track, and would therefore
like to discuss a schedule for these with staff.
Once all the arrangements have been made, I will need you to prepare an agenda with the draft
conference program attached to send out to staff as per the timelines specified in the meeting policy.
The meeting will mostly focus on the finalising the conference themes and I will also give all staff an
overview of the conference.

Grow Management Consultants convenes a range of meetings, including regular staff meetings,
meetings to discuss specific projects or issues, management meetings and client meetings. Such
meetings are considered
to be formal meetings. This policy covers formal meetings only.

This policy and procedure applies to all staff with responsibility for organizing meetings at Grow
Management Consultants.

Notice of meetings
A notice of meeting must be sent to all staff at least ten working days prior to the meeting except in the
case of emergency meetings.
This notice must be sent by the person organizing the meeting.

The notice is to be sent via email, addressed to participating staff members.


It must identify:

 The type of meeting (for example, face to face or teleconference)

 The purpose of the meeting and any additional requirements

 The place, date and time of the meeting.

 Advice that the agenda will be forwarded within three working days of the meeting.

Where a staff member is required to attend a meeting but is interstate visiting clients, teleconference
arrangements should be made for that staff member in order that they can attend the meeting.
These staff members are to be advised that they will be contacted via Skype and they are to ensure
they are available on Skype at the appointed time.
Staff members who are unable to attend are expected to respond via email advising that they are
unable to attend.
The notice of the meeting should also be used to remind staff of the Grow Management Consultants
meeting code of conduct as follows:

 Everyone is expected to be on time for the meeting.

 Meetings must be entered into all staff calendars to ensure that they are not forgotten.

 Mobile phones must be turned off in meetings.

 Laptops may only be used during the meeting to make notes or to refer to relevant sources of
information.

 Everyone’s point of view must be respected.


Every notice does not need to refer to each of the above points but staff should be reminded to review
this code regularly.

Meeting agenda
The purpose of an agenda is to inform the staff of when and where the meeting will be, as well as
what will be discussed and done at the meeting.
The person organizing the meeting must develop an agenda.
The Grow Consultants Meeting Agenda template must be used, ensuring that:

 Each agenda item is numbered

 Each agenda item is allocated an amount of time e.g. 9.00 am – 9.15 am and that this is
enough time for the item to be discussed.

 There is a short summary of what will be discussed under each agenda item.
Agendas must be saved according to the subject of the meeting and the date of the meeting. The
agenda will be saved in a specific project file or under a general file, such as “staff meetings”.
Agendas must be sent by email to each meeting participant at least three working days prior to the
meeting.

Meeting arrangements
Regular staff meetings are to be held in the Boardroom, which can seat up to 10 people.

Meetings will generally be up to around an hour. However, for longer meetings, those expected to last
longer than 2 hours, refreshments should be organised. Depending on the time of day this might be
breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea.
A maximum cost of $10 per person is allowable for morning or afternoon tea or $15 for breakfast or
lunch.

All catering is to be organized through Crave Catering:

Chairperson
A meeting must have a chairperson to chair the proceedings. This will usually be the person who
organizes the meeting and sends out the agenda. The chairperson is required to control the meeting
procedures and has the task of:

 nominating or requesting a staff member to take meeting minutes (see following section).

 making sure proper notice is given and that there is an agenda, listing all items that need to be
covered.

 checking (and, usually, signing) the minutes of previous meetings if applicable:

 keeping time (It is important that the meeting gets through its business in the allocated time)

 dealing with the order of business.

 facilitating discussion.

 keeping order.

 ensuring everyone has an opportunity to speak.

 limiting the amount of time each staff member can have to speak on a matter; and

 making sure that decisions are reached on issues that are discussed and that everyone
understands what the decisions are; and

 declaring the meeting closed.

Minutes
It is essential that accurate minutes of all meetings are taken as follows:

 At the outset of a meeting, the Chair is to nominate or request a staff member to take the
minutes of the meeting.

 A laptop and the Minutes Template is to be provided to the staff member taking the minutes.

 The staff member should be advised that minutes must be saved according to the subject of
the meeting and the date and saved in a specific project file or under a general file such as
staff meetings

 Minutes must be taken as follows:


o It is important that the minutes record any resolutions or decisions made at a meeting.

o Minutes should be as brief as possible without jeopardising accuracy and credibility of the
record.
o At the meeting, notes can be taken and formal meeting minutes written up afterwards as
set out in the timelines below. The Minutes Template can still be used for taking notes.
Notes must also be provided with meeting minutes.
o Attendances and any apologies must be noted. This is usually done at the beginning of a
meeting, although if people leave early or arrive late it is a good idea to also keep a note of
this in the minutes.

 Present previous minutes for approval if applicable. Often, draft minutes for the previous
meeting will be circulated in advance of the next meeting, giving people time to consider
whether the minutes accurately reflect their recollection of the meeting. Minutes should be
approved on the basis that they are a correct record of the meeting.

 Meeting minutes must be saved according to the subject of the meeting and the date of the
meeting.

 The meeting minutes will be saved in a specific project file (e.g. Conference Folder YEAR
folder or under a general folder such as Marketing Materials or such as staff meetings).

 Minutes must be provided by the minute taker to the Chair within 2 working days of the
meeting.

 Minutes will be distributed by the Chair to all attendees within 5 working days of the meeting.
This should be via email.
