Overview

The INGENIOUS.BUILD Meetings tool is a comprehensive feature designed specifically for the AECO industry to streamline and enhance the efficiency of a meeting while keeping compliance and the legal basis on top of the mind. This tool offers a robust, structured approach to organizing and documenting meetings within a project.


Key Features & Benefits

Our Meetings tool comprises a wealth of functionality to keep you efficient and compliant. Below are some of the key features we offer while documenting your meetings:

  1. Customization and Flexibility: Admin users can configure the default workspace settings for meetings such as the status assignment and the inclusion of multiple discussion items under a topic. This, coupled with the ability to customize these settings on a per-meeting basis (if allowed by admin) offers a high degree of customization.

  2. Consistent Meeting Frameworks with Templates: The ability to use templates for meeting structures is a key feature that ensures consistency across your organization. By standardizing the framework, teams can quickly prepare and conduct meetings more efficiently. This is also crucial for maintaining a uniform approach to meeting documentation, which is vital for legal and compliance purposes.

  3. Structured Meeting Organization: The tiered system of Categories, Topics, and Discussion Items helps in organizing the meeting structure. Having a structured approach to your meeting minutes helps improve the overall clarity and focus during your meetings while also ensuring that all points are covered, resulting in a more productive meeting.

  4. Task and Milestone Integration: The ability to link discussion items directly to tasks and the ability to easily reference tasks and milestones external to the meeting drastically helps in enhancing accountability and productivity post-meeting. Additionally, we will continue to add the ability to reference more parts of our platform leading to an even more integrated meeting.

  5. Attendee Management and Legal Compliance: When conducting a meeting, you can check or uncheck attendees providing a clear record of who was present in each meeting. This is essential not only for internal record keeping but also for legal compliance given that the AECO industry is one where meeting attendance may have legal implications.

  6. Historical Record and Reference: The tool's ability to provide snapshots of past meetings contributes to a thorough historical record of your project. This comprehensive documentation is extremely valuable for legal purposes, ensuring that there is a clear and accessible record of all discussions and decisions.

  7. Document Sharing and Minutes Distribution: The ability to export meeting minutes as PDF facilitates efficient document management and sharing. This ensures that all members of the meeting are shared a copy, whether they were in attendance or not. This furthers the tool's ability to ensure transparency and legal compliance within your projects.
