TIMED AGENDA (60 minutes)

0:00  Shared goal and what each team owns (5 min) | Owner: Facilitator
      Restate the goal everyone is working toward in one sentence, then name what each department is accountable for.
0:05  Status by department (10 min) | Owner: Each department lead
      Two minutes each. Done since last meeting, on track or at risk, and one number. No slides.
0:15  Handoffs and dependencies (10 min) | Owner: Facilitator
      List what one team is waiting on from another. Each dependency gets a giver, a receiver and a date.
0:25  Blockers and conflicting priorities (10 min) | Owner: Department leads
      Surface where one team's priority collides with another's. Decide now or name who decides and by when.
0:35  Decisions needed (10 min) | Owner: Sponsor or senior lead
      Take only the decisions that cannot be settled between two teams. Record the decision and the reason.
0:45  Shared metrics check (5 min) | Owner: Operations lead
      Review the two or three numbers every department agreed to watch, against target.
0:50  Communication plan (5 min) | Owner: Facilitator
      Agree what gets announced, to whom, and who sends it, so teams are not hearing news from each other second hand.
0:55  Actions and next meeting (5 min) | Owner: Note taker
      Read back every action with its owner and date. Confirm the next meeting date and whether it can be shorter.

ACTION ITEMS
Task | Owner | Due
[Task] | [Name] | [Date]

Keep every department's commitments on the record

In a cross-departmental meeting, the risk is that each team remembers a different version of what was agreed. Speak AI records the call and gives everyone the same transcript, summary and action list.

• Record the meeting on Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, or upload the file afterwards.
• Get a transcript with speakers labelled, so you can check which department committed to which date.
• Get an automatic summary of status, blockers and decisions for the whole group.
• Get action items with owners and due dates pulled out, ready to paste into your shared tracker.
