  3. Use a structured selection process

Define the role

Pull decisions, promises, questions, and deferred items from the notes. Give each a type so a question is not mistaken for approved work.

Set the operating model

Assign one owner and one next action to every retained item. Support can remind and route context, while leaders resolve conflicts and accept new commitments.

Choose with care

Review open loops before the next meeting and close what is complete. Carrying fewer, clearer items makes follow-through visible.
