The Defensible Record

Minutes, Resolutions and the Decision Trail

In-house, for your board or team

What it covers

The board record as evidence: the Six-Gate Decision Map, the Cold Reading Test, decision-first minute discipline, the difference between a minute and a written resolution, and the standing record rules.

What you leave with

The Decision Trail Audit, one real material decision taken through all six gates, plus the Six-Gate Decision Map, the Cold Reading Test and the Exposure Register.

Learning outcomes

  • Read a board record as a regulator will read it, not as the room remembers it.
  • Take a material decision through the six gates and evidence each one.
  • Distinguish a minute from a written resolution and record dissent properly.

Who it is for

Governance professionals and senior managers who draft, review or sign records of decision.
