A member of the team in conversation

Westbridge / Conversation preparation note

Give the meeting a starting point

Write down why you are getting in touch, what has happened so far and the questions you most want to discuss. A short outline can be more useful than trying to prepare a complete account of every detail.

If other people or organisations are involved, make a note of their role. Include any upcoming dates and explain what you hope the conversation will help you understand.

Questions to bring

  • What would make this meeting useful to you?
  • Which questions would you like to discuss first?
  • What documents might be relevant?

Ask how to prepare

The team can explain what information they need before a discussion and how to provide it. Ask about the meeting format, who will be involved and whether there are any practical arrangements to make.

Mention communication or access preferences in your enquiry so these can be discussed when arranging the conversation.
