An “aide-mémoire” is a written or visual document that serves as a memory aid or quick reference guide during meetings or discussions. It is designed to help participants recall key points, agenda items, action items, or important details that need to be addressed during the meeting.
Aide-mémoires are particularly useful in complex or lengthy discussions, as they provide a concise summary of critical information, reducing the risk of overlooking important topics. They can take various forms, including notes, diagrams, or bullet-point lists, and are often distributed to participants before or during a meeting to enhance engagement and ensure that everyone stays on track. A well-prepared aide-mémoire contributes to more efficient and productive meetings by keeping participants focused and informed.
