All well-structured meetings should have an agenda, which isusually prepared by the chairperson. Depending on the typeof meeting, agendas can be formal or informal, but all shouldstart by stating the date, time and location of the meeting.It is useful to include the name of the person who will bepresenting a specific agenda item. You may also find it help-ful to include a note of the time allocated to each point.Some more detailed agendas also state objectives for indi-vidual agenda items, for example: "Agree on product design".Formal agendas differ from informal agendas in that theystart with routine items, which always appear in a specificorder. In addition, each point on the agenda is clearly num-bered. Nowadays, agendas for all but the most importantcompany meetings (board meetings, annual general meet-ings) tend to use an informal style.Catchwords and abbreviationsNote how both informal and formal agendas have a concise style andtend to be written in note-like form, often omitting articles before nounsand using abbreviations. For example, AOB stands for "any other busi-ness", which refers to topics that are not covered by other agenda itemsor which have arisen after the agenda was distributed. Compiling the agendaBesides giving the meeting structure, the purpose of theagenda is to ensure that the time available is only used fordiscussing the items listed. Some people hold that topics thatare important enough to be discussed should be included asitems on the agenda, keeping AOB to a minimum. This can bedone by asking participants to submit items for inclusion onthe agenda. Email is a practical means of doing this, espe-cially when a large group of people is involved. If the agendais long, or in the case of a formal meeting, you may wish tocirculate the draft agenda to participants as an email at-tachment, rather than including it in the body of an email.
