Meeting Design Template.

Make each surviving meeting produce an outcome rather than consume time.

A meeting that meets is not the goal; a meeting that decides, aligns, or unblocks is. Complete one of these per recurring meeting marked Keep or Right-size in the audit, and use it as the standing design.

Agenda (with time allocations)

ItemMinutesDesired outcome (decision / alignment / next step)
Decision-and-action discipline

Every agenda item resolves to a decision or a named next step with an owner. Nothing leaves the room as "we discussed it." Keep a brief written note of decisions and owners, sent to anyone affected who was not present. The governing rule: no recurring meeting runs without a purpose and an agenda. If a given week has no agenda, the meeting is canceled for that week.
