Use Ketchup to remember what happened at meetings

Ministry involves (at least in my experience) a lot of meetings. Previously I’ve written about tools for finding a suitable time for people to meet (see ‘Find a time that suits everyone‘).

Today I want to introduce you to a tool that addresses a different issue – remembering what happened at the meeting! I find remembering meeting outcomes and action items difficult.

Ketchup is a tool that allows you to create agendas, add notes and keep all your agendas in one place so you never forget what was discussed at the meeting, and what you agreed to do!

It’s very easy to create a meeting and add the details of the time, place and attendees:

After the meeting you can print the agenda and notes, or share the link with other attendees (or just leave it online to access later when you need).

I’ve found it to be a very useful tool for managing staff meetings, web meetings and any other meeting I find myself at. And it’s free.

Check out Ketchup.

    Hey Steve

    Have you been using the free version of ketchup for your church meetings or did you fork out the Euro to get the better functionality?

    Hi Steve, I’ve actually had far less involvement in chairing meetings this year, so hadn’t been in need of Ketchup for a while. I’ve sent them a message, asking what the difference between the free and personal (paid) plans are. Are you still using it?

    Haven’t started using it yet. I’m thinking about it for 2011
