Meeting-to-Action Productivity Overlay (7-12 days)
A fixed-scope engagement that turns a client's existing meeting, scheduling, and note-taking habits into a documented workflow with named owners and measurable hours recovered. The productivity tools are the visible artifact; the billable work is the process design around them.
- Client grants admin access to the calendar, meeting, and note platforms already in use, plus one shared workspace for the build A named client-side process owner who can approve workflow changes and attend two review sessions At least four weeks of historical meeting data (invite volume, attendee counts, recurring series) available for baseline Agreement on which two workflows are in scope, since a full department rollout will not fit the day range Written confirmation of data handling rules for any recording or transcription feature before it is switched on
- 1.Pull four weeks of calendar and meeting history and count recurring series by team
- 2.Interview three staff members about where meeting follow-up currently stalls
- 3.Document the baseline: hours per week spent in meetings and on manual notes
- 1.Map the current meeting lifecycle from invite to action item to owner
- 2.Flag every handoff where a human retypes or forwards information
- 3.Rank candidate workflows by hours recoverable per week
- 1.Select the two workflows with the highest recoverable hours
- 2.Confirm the chosen platform fits the client's existing calendar and identity provider
- 3.Write the target-state process on one page with named owners per step
- 1.Configure the scheduling layer with routing rules, buffers, and meeting types
- 2.Set recording and consent defaults to match the client's data rules
- 3.Connect the meeting platform to the client's CRM or project tracker
- 1.Build the note capture and summarization flow for the first workflow
- 2.Define the action-item format and where it lands after each meeting
- 3.Test the flow end to end on two live internal meetings
- 1.Build the second workflow, reusing the same capture and routing pattern
- 2.Add a fallback path for meetings where recording is not permitted
- 3.Document the fallback in the runbook so staff are not blocked
- 1.Run a 45-minute training session for the pilot group
- 2.Record a short walkthrough for staff who join later
- 3.Collect friction notes from the pilot group in a shared doc
- 1.Fix the top three friction points raised by the pilot group
- 2.Tighten notification rules so action items reach owners within one hour
- 3.Confirm the summarization output matches the agreed action-item format
- 1.Measure hours recovered against the day-one baseline
- 2.Compare action-item completion rates before and after the change
- 3.Write the before-and-after numbers into the handover deck
- 1.Deliver the runbook, workflow diagrams, and measurement dashboard to the client owner
- 2.Walk the client owner through how to add a third workflow without agency help
- 3.Agree the 30-day check-in date and the metric to review
Clients can buy the scheduling or transcription tool direct in minutes, so the fee cannot rest on software access. The charge is for the process design that decides which meetings get recorded, where action items land, and who owns follow-up, which is the part a self-serve signup never produces. A retainer attaches because meeting volume and team composition drift, and the workflow needs re-tuning each quarter to keep the recovered hours from eroding.
- A one-page target-state process map with named owners for each step in both in-scope workflows A configured scheduling and meeting-capture setup with consent and fallback rules documented A written runbook covering how to add a new workflow, change routing, and handle unrecorded meetings A before-and-after measurement sheet showing hours recovered and action-item completion rates A 30-day check-in agenda with the single metric the client owner will review
The client's named process owner can independently configure a third workflow and produce a measurement report without agency assistance, verified in a live session on day 10.
