Taking notes --- Often I've found that the interlocuters we are meeting with are also taking their own notes in the meeting too. I think it works much better when you have one person from your organisation that is leading the meeting and focusing only on that while another takes the notes. In one of my roles we had discussions about note takers using laptops in meetings so meeting notes would be more legible (we dont have time to type them out afterwards) but we decided against it as the tapping sound of laptops can potentially put interlocuters a bit more on edge/guard in comparison to quiet note taking by hand
