November 24, 2011 (Powerhomebiz.com) How many meetings have you sat through this month? Do you still have the meeting minutes?
Sadly, in today’s business culture, meetings have become less productive and the tools we’re using for tracking them in order not to miss deadlines, like email, spreadsheets and document templates, are not helping.
Enter 2BeDone. This Swiss company was started in 2010 by business professionals with significant experience from various roles in industries such as FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods), ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and Management Consulting in North America and Europe. Having faced the ”meeting reality” from different perspectives, 2BeDone has set out to change this meeting culture by providing an online tool for managing meeting minutes and action plans.
2BeDone’s application is very simple and straightforward, although it contains powerful features helpful in weekly status meetings and project steering. Once being log on, you fall on a dashboard with big buttons where you can create meetings, add participants, write minutes, attach files, create, assign and manage actions, overview activity, set preferences, provide updates, can seamlessly create follow-up meetings, with meeting notes imported from the previous actions, and last but not least, you can request regular progress updates on actions – for not losing track of tasks that may require a long time to complete.
With a focus on interface design and intuitive functionality, individuals and small teams can literally begin using 2BeDone within minutes, with no training. For larger teams or organizations, 2BeDone offers an enterprise service with dedicated hardware infrastructure and support, having also the flexibility to grant limited access to external users, ensuring that they can also participate and following up on them.
A very good way to get started is to use the 2BeDone Playground, a demo version of the application which allows you to play around with the product entering only your name. You can access this by visiting the 2BeDone website – www.2bedone.com – and clicking on the Playground link, getting also a 30-day free trial to properly evaluate the platform before making a commitment.
2BeDone’s application is a useful tool to manage meetings and assure that what one decides in a meeting is also executed. Thus, with 2BeDone your meetings can become more productive and less pervasive.
