Objective: To create an action plan for Mtg-4, a meeting that has been going on for weeks.
Step 1: Review the notes from last week's meeting, which were not actually taken during the meeting, but rather during a different meeting that happened to be in the same conference room.
Step 2: Send out a mass email to all attendees with a brief summary of the action items, which will inevitably get lost in the sea of 50 other unread emails in your inbox.
Step 3: Schedule a follow-up meeting to review the progress on the action items, because clearly, we haven't made enough progress yet.
