Question 1: Describe any three (3) guidelines that need to be followed while preparing an Satisfactory
effective agenda for a meeting. response
Answer must be between 150-200 words. Yes ☐ No ☐
Determine the meeting's purpose and objective: Before you even start looking up people's schedules, ask yourself,
"What do we need to accomplish at this meeting? This will also help you decide how frequently you need to meet if it's a
reoccurring meeting. To define the major milestones for your team's yearly objectives, for instance, you might schedule
a planning meeting with the aim of establishing dates and assigning responsibility for each milestone. Once the purpose
and objective are established, you can start working your scheduling magic.
Choose themes that have an impact on the team as a whole: Team meetings are expensive and challenging to plan. It
should primarily be used to debate and decide on issues that concern the entire team and require the team as a whole
to solve them. Due to the interdependence of their organizational components, these situations frequently need
employees to coordinate their actions. Plan meetings such that the most crucial issues come first: This is generally a
good practice when organizing meetings. This guarantees that these crucial topics can be discussed at the beginning of
the meeting when everyone is freshest and least worn out.
Consult the team for input: To make sure that all of the points are covered, ask the project team members what they
would like to talk about during the meeting. Some of the suggestions might need to be eliminated if they are irrelevant
or would require too much time. Plan these around the items on your regular agenda.

response
A) Briefly explain the importance of creating a meeting agenda. Answer must be between
100-150 words. A) Yes ☐ No ☐
B) List any four (4) items that should be included on the agenda.
B) Yes ☐ No ☐
A. Any significant meeting will frequently fall short of the efficacy and efficiency expected by the meeting leader,
the attendees, and the management and customers who depend on the meeting's success without a well-
prepared agenda. Making a meeting plan is known as creating an agenda. You begin by outlining the primary
objective or reason for holding the meeting. Once you have chosen your objective, you must decide whether
you require additional staff to help you create your schedule. If so, ask if they'd want to join you. The following
choices must be made by you or your team after deciding on your overarching goal. Each of these topics is listed
on the meeting agenda along with the meeting's objective or goal. The following items should be on the agenda
for the meeting:
B. Topic of meeting.
Schedule, duration and venue of the meeting.
Subtopics and areas of concern.
Status of identified action points.

response
Answer must be between 100 to 150 words.
Yes ☐ No ☐
1. Verbatim Minutes . This is a verbatim written record of what was said during meetings. Verbatim minutes
are frequently exceedingly long and challenging to review. If a law, a public hearing, or a legislature requires
their usage, they are rarely used.
2. Action Minutes. Also known as decision-only minutes, they are. They do not include any of the debates that
led to the choices; just the decisions themselves are included. In other words, they merely record the
outcomes of conversations and the necessary actions.

Question 4: Answer the following questions. Satisfactory
response
A) Briefly explain the following structures of a meeting:
• Formal meetings A) Yes ☐ No ☐
• Informal meetings
B) Yes ☐ No ☐
Answer must be between 150-200 words.
B) Mention which style of meeting you would use to distribute information and receive
feedback from employees.
Depending on the company’s culture, people might hardly ever be for a meeting -- or they might never step
out of this. Among them is a formal gathering. They are formal social gatherings where important financial,
authoritative, and operational information is presented to those who make decisions about these matters.
This list often includes investors, top management, board members, and sometimes other people speaking to
a council that is attempting a specific task in one of these areas. Meetings of the senior management team,
meetings of the investors each year, and gatherings of the money advisory committee are examples of formal
meetings. Such meetings would follow a specific agenda, and the minutes would be kept. Formal meetings
are typically used to announce and present important financial and large-scale operational facts. The minutes
must be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission if this organization is traded on an open
market.
An informal gathering is yet another type. These meetings are used to discuss ongoing operational and
strategy challenges. It's kind of a casual gathering, your specialized meeting. There should be an agenda for
this meeting to keep the discussion on track, and participants will probably take notes. There won't be any
"official" meeting minutes kept, in any case. The unofficial gathering may be used for:
Instruction
Resolving issues
Brainstorming
I would use the formal meeting style to distribute the information and to receive the feedback from employees.

Question 5. Answer the following questions. Satisfactory
response
A) What are the essential skills required in a minute taker?
B) What are the benefits of taking minutes? A) Yes ☐ No ☐
A.
Listening
Great listening skills are the most essential quality of an efficient minute taker. Sit centrally among all attendees when
taking minutes so you can hear what is said. Use a speakerphone if the conference is over the phone so that you may
take notes while keeping your hands free.
Minutes Structure
Using a meeting note format can result in minutes that are well-written and productive. Your design should have a place
to list the attendees, the meeting time and date, and the next scheduled meeting time. Additionally, portions for trades,
activity items, and options may be included in notes.
Analytical mind
The ability to go through the data and determine what information actually needs to be recorded. To be the best minute
taker you can be, make an effort to develop these skills. These skills can be applied to many aspects of an overseer's job.
Decisiveness
Minute takers must be confident enough to speak out during meetings (where appropriate) and clarify objectives. You
will be able to collaborate with the director in this position to make this task less difficult.
Affirmation Continuously look for affirmation of articulations, thoughts, choices and activity things in the event that you
are uncertain of your notes or of what you've heard. As opposed to theory or report off base data, request illumination
amid the meeting or after.

B.
Meeting minutes give you and your colleagues a written record of what was discussed and decided,
ensuring that you and they have the same memories of the meeting and the same understanding of what
was decided. If two coworkers disagree on what was decided, it could cause conflict within your
organization or, in the worst case scenario, if the minutes are not recorded, you might have to have
another meeting to resolve the issue. So, starting a written note-taking practice is undoubtedly an
excellent idea for your company.
Question 6. Discuss the chairperson’s responsibilities during and after the meetings. Satisfactory
response
Answer must be between 80 to 120 words.
Yes ☐ No ☐
The roles of a chairperson are to set the agenda, lead the meeting, maintain order at the meeting, ensure the
conventions of the meeting are being followed, ensure fairness and equality at the meeting, represent the group to the
public and to approve the formal minutes of the meeting after they have been formatted, to confirming that they are a
correct and truthfully representation of the events at the meetings. The meeting is opened by the chairperson, who also
extends a warm greeting to all attendees. Each item on the agenda must be introduced as they are covered, and the
moderator must make sure that everyone stays on topic and doesn't stray from it. The decision to formally adjourn the
meeting rests with the chairperson. The meeting's chairperson is in charge of formally approving the minutes that have
been taken after the meeting. He or she can be asked to speak on behalf of those in attendance to the general public.
Question 7 Read the below scenario and answer the following questions: Satisfactory

A. Meeting minutes are recordings of the conversation that occurred and must include who spoke and
what was said, as well as the actions that were taken. Transferring action items to the following
meeting's agenda is necessary. Time, date, meeting title, venue, attendees, agenda items, presenter,
and meeting proposal are the details that need to be provided.
B. Meeting minutes are detailed written records of the information discussed during a meeting. Every
time you have a discussion, they should be recording significant choices, tasks, and information.
Written minutes should be sent out no later than 24 hours following the meeting to ensure that
people who were unable to attend the meeting are also included. By allowing people to review the
minutes to determine exactly what happened at the meetings, written minutes can help prevent
disagreements and misunderstandings.
Minutes are essential since they serve as reminders of previous meetings and serve as a written
record in the event of a clarification or disagreement.
Question 12. Describe any three (3) barriers to participation and discussion when meeting Satisfactory
with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. response
Answer must be between 80 to 120 words. Yes ☐ No ☐
Developing Ideas
Cultural norms for participation vary widely. While team members from more hierarchical cultures, like Japan,
tend to speak up only after more senior colleagues have done the same, individuals from more egalitarian
and individualistic nations, like the U.S. or Australia, may be used to expressing their unfiltered opinions and
ideas.
Surfacing Disagreement
People from cultures that place a high importance on maintaining one's "face" and maintaining harmony
within the group may be wary of confrontation because they believe it will lead to conflict and upset the
dynamics of the group—in other words, social failure. A "good fight" is actually a sign of trust in other
cultures.

Providing critique
It helps to iron out some of the unavoidable wrinkles - related to punctuality, communication style, or
behavior in meetings - that accentuate stereotypes and disrupt collaboration. Constructive criticism is a

A.
Shared Purpose
A team and a group vary in that a team has a common objective. When a group of people collaborates, it is
essential that everyone is on the same page regarding the end aim. It's time to dive deeper to determine
whether or not everyone is on the same page if your team struggles to reach consensus and seems to split up
at every pivotal moment.
The desire to accept responsibility for mistakes and make them right is a crucial component of accountability.
A successful team must set up the proper procedures for assessment and evaluation when success is
contingent on results. Keep track of your efforts and be prepared to alter your strategy if outcomes fall short
of expectations.
Winning teams leverage the different thoughts and ideas held by each member to come up with more
innovative and creative solutions. If you find that your team comes up with ideas unanimously quickly and
often, your team might be experiencing groupthink, which is death to creativity. Be sure to encourage
diversity within your team so it can settle on the best idea, not the easiest one.
Every team member needs to understand why they are on it. They ought to be aware of their
importance and accountability. You might overlook this if your onboarding is hurried or chaotic.
Think about how much more productive your team would be if each member had the same sense
of ownership for the work of others as they did for their own job. This is something that the team
leader must establish up front if a new team is formed for a unique project. After all, members of
such a team might rely on one another for advice and support. There is more wisdom in two than
one. Members of a team can collaborate to accomplish a goal when they are committed to it,
rather than keeping score of their contributions or output.

others. As long as they don't feel coerced, members will inevitably have to compromise and come up with the
finest possible combination of an idea.
Participative Leadership
A micromanager is the absolute worst type of manager. In addition to stifling innovation, they frequently
undercut workers' feelings of pride in their work, self-assurance, and trust by fostering an environment of
dread. Participatory leaders take a backseat and let team members operate independently. As opposed to
ruling over their group, they offer resources, direction, and information.
B.
Chairperson- The meeting's agenda must be established by the chairperson, who must also make sure that everyone
follows it. The meeting's rules must be followed at all times, according to the chairwoman. They need to guarantee that
everyone in the meeting is treated fairly and equally.
Recorder- The recorder must be able to summarize and write down only the most crucial information while also
comprehending the group's technical jargon. An efficient recorder may take notes on a laptop and project them on a
screen for participants to see, or they may write notes of the debate on flip chart paper in full view of the audience.
Time keeper- A timekeeper in a meeting is someone who takes on the responsibility of timing or keeping track of how
long something takes to complete. The facilitator or leader conducting the conversation is less stressed because the
timekeeper essentially assists them in moving the group through the agenda.
Facilitator- The dialogue during your team meeting or gathering should be moderated by a meeting facilitator. They
establish the meeting's atmosphere and maintain its schedule. Meeting hosts ensure that all attendees have an
opportunity to engage and foster an inclusive meeting atmosphere.
Question 14. Briefly explain the purpose of the following policies and procedures in terms Satisfactory
of managing and organising the meeting. response
A) Privacy and confidentiality policies and procedures A) Yes ☐ No ☐
B) Communication policies and procedures
B) Yes ☐ No ☐
Each answer must be between 50 to 100 words.
A. Not only is it a privacy violation to reveal their information, but it will also undermine employee
confidence and loyalty. Additionally, it will lower productivity. Employer-employee relationships are

built on trust, thus business owners have a responsibility to protect employee data.
B. Organizational rules on communication establish standards and control the flow of information both
inside and outside the company. Without restricting communication to the point that employees feel
intimidated and helpless, it is critical to establish regulations that enable meaningful and necessary
dialogue that is essential for employee productivity and morale. A strong communication policy in
place helps with transitions like layoffs or mergers by minimizing conflicts and misunderstandings.
A. Legal Conventions - At a formal meeting of an organization or business group, there are certain
meeting customs that must be followed in order to comply with the law. These might include
preparing an agenda in advance, having a chair present, and producing an official set of minutes
following the meeting, depending on your region.
B. Informal Conventions - These conventions are exclusive to the group presiding over the meeting and
were chosen by them. One of them can be that each participant in the meeting must formally
introduce themselves to the group at the start of each session. If the group feels that these
conventions should be altered, they are subject to discussion.

comply with during meetings. response

board or committee made; they are not a transcript of the conversation. They have historical value,
but they also have significant legal significance because they prove that the organization followed the
rules and the bylaws of the association.
c. The Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) makes it unlawful to discriminate against a person, in
many areas of public life, including employment, education, getting or using services, renting or
buying a house or unit, and accessing public places, because of their disability.

Project:
This is a group activity. Each team will have four (4) team members. You will act as Chairperson of the formal
meeting. The role of the Director will be played by your Trainer/Assessor. The role of events officer and the
student support officer will be allocated to students in your group. At the conclusion of the scenario, each
student will switch with the other students to ensure everyone experiences each role fully. If there is an
insufficient number of students, the trainer will assume multiple roles for the scenario, rotating roles at the
conclusion of each exercise. If the student is required to participate in multiple roles for the exercise, they will
also switch after each round, of the role play scenario.
In this part of the assessment task, you are required to prepare, conduct and act as Chairperson of the “Formal
meeting”. You will demonstrate that you have successfully chaired the meeting by completing all the templates
provided in this assessment task.
Before chairing the meeting, you are required to nominate a fellow student from the class as a minute taker,
brief him/her on the their role and tell them how they are to take the minutes.
You must specify the minute taker’s name and role in your meeting documentations. You also provide rough
notes from them along with the assessment.
Scenario:
You are the head of the student council at a small English school. There are 3 elected committee members of the
student council. These include the events officer, the student support officer and the president (which is you).
You will be chairing a meeting with the Director of the school to discuss the upcoming annual New Year’s party.
You will need to come up with a plan for the New Year’s party and convince the Director on the need for a bigger
budget than the previous year. This is because the previous year the event was a horrible experience for all
involved, with a lack of food and activities; resulting in many people leaving before the New Year began.
The meeting is due to be held in 2 weeks on the 1 st of October. Meeting invitations need to be created and sent
out via email to the relevant committee members, including the Director, that should be present at the meeting.
The Director will be arriving on an early flight from Sydney at 8:30am and will leave to catch another flight on the
same day at 6pm. Transport will have to be arranged to pick him up and drop him off. The meeting will be held in
the school’s Conference Room 1. The meeting will allocate roles and responsibilities for each of the team
members and work out how to best coordinate efforts with the student body. This meeting will also establish the
theme, location, date, time, budget and how to improve on the previous year’s celebration.
You will prepare a short PowerPoint on how to hold an effective party and what activities may be included
(which should ideally link in with the theme chosen). It should also be noted that:
• One of the student representatives is vegan (and 15 percent of the student body is either vegan or
34
Level 2 & 4, 616-620 Harris Street, Ulti mo NSW2007, Australia
Version 1.0

vegetarian)
• The other student representative requires a gluten-free diet (5 other students also have the same dietary
restrictions)
• The total student body is 100 students
• There is a total of 10 staff members.
• The number of students that attended the party previous year were 50.
• Last year’s budget for this event was $5000 and this year the Director, not willing to repeat the mess of
last year is willing to spend four times this amount – if it can be justified
In this task, the role of the Director will be played by your Trainer, who will determine your budget allocation on
how convincing your team arguments are. This meeting will form the basis of your meeting minutes. The meeting
should run according to meeting documents prepared before the commencement of the meeting, such as the
meeting requirements form and preparation form. A computer or a similar electronic device should be utilised to
record the minutes of meeting. Minutes should be taken in an electronic format, using Microsoft Word software,
as per organisational requirements. Minutes are to be reviewed to check for errors and edited to ensure
accuracy, whilst the document is being made and once it’s completed too.
When chairing the meeting, you must ensure that you comply with legal and ethical requirements.
When chairing the meeting, you must follow the following organisational procedures.
