Ensure meetings lead to decisions and action

Fingertip brings meeting preparation, decisions, and follow-up into one clear flow inside Microsoft Teams. What gets discussed, decided, and agreed is visible and carried forward.

If you want meetings that result in clear decisions and visible progress between meetings, Fingertip is built for that.

WHY?

The average knowledge worker spends 40% of their working time in meetings.

Since 2020, the time spent in Teams meetings has increased by 252%.

Meanwhile, up to 33% of meetings are considered unnecessary at best, wasteful at worst.

We need new standards to ensure that time spent in meetings is time well spent.

How meetings turn into decisions and execution

Structured agenda

Prepare the agenda in the right team context and link all relevant materials and decision items in one place. Everyone knows what will be discussed before the meeting starts.

Discussion in Teams

Involve the right people in agenda preparation and discuss topics in the channel before the meeting. Meeting time is used for decisions, not catching up.

Decisions and follow-up

Decisions are documented during the meeting and linked to clear ownership. Progress is visible between meetings without separate reporting, and the next meeting continues from where the previous one ended.

What do our customers think?

“With Fingertip we changed the whole leadership model, from board work to managing and monitoring individual tasks in the units’ action plans.  Fingertip offers transparency and systematization across the organization.”

Tero Helin, Development Director
Kiertokapula Oy

"We used to prioritize daily management over strategy deployment Fingertip has been a key tool to combine our strategy process (OKR) and our daily management into one system. Fingertip connects long term strategy initiatives and short-term activities into manageable and monitorable tasks through our organization levels."

Top annoyances in meetings

There are many problems with meetings in traditional working models, including:

TIME

Meetings start late or run long. There’s a topic vs. time imbalance.

FOCUS

Meetings with fluid borders, direction, and/or purpose; a free-for-all.

SCHEDULE

Meetings are missing people due to conflicts, time zones, etc.

LOOPS

Meetings cover the same old ground; there’s no progress.

FREQUENCY

There are too many meetings and/or too much time in meetings.

VOICE

Meetings with uneven contributions, no debate and HIPPOs rule.

FORUM

Meetings that could or should be emails or direct messages.

RESULTS

Meetings with no closure, decisions or outcomes.

ENGAGEMENT

Meetings with disengaged people, often multitasking.

READINESS

Meetings with an unprepared facilitator or audience.

Meeting lifecycle

94% of meetings happen without a set agenda. People can’t prepare, and time that was meant for collaboration and innovation is spent in getting people aligned.

Fingertip forces you to think beforehand: Why is this meeting necessary, who should take part and what will we touch upon. You can collaborate in creating the agenda, linking all relevant tasks and discussion. Preparing happens simply as part of Teams use, without big changes in operating model, which ensures it is actually used.

Here are the key functions of Fingertip in each phase of a meeting lifecycle:

BEFORE MEETINGS:

Prepare an agenda together.
Invite the participants through Outlook.
Share preparation tasks to others.

DURING MEETINGS:

Run meetings with a digital agenda
Document discussions in context to the agenda items
Create action points as to-do items in Fingertip

AFTER MEETINGS:

Generate minutes of meetings with links to key items
Follow up progress of action items
Manage overflow by transferring agenda items to new meetings
Make decisions asynchronously

Who is Fingertip for?

Fingertip helps teams achieve more together. Whether you meet in person or in Microsoft Teams, preparation, decisions, and follow-up stay shared and visible.

With Fingertip, teams work more effectively across the entire meeting lifecycle. For example leadership teams can focus on the substance of their work instead of managing tools and materials:

The old way of working

When leadership work is scattered across multiple systems and files, progress slows down and attention is wasted on coordination instead of leadership.

Agreed actions hide in meeting notes and disconnected documents.
Accountability and progress blur in the gaps between meetings.
Strategy lives in separate materials, detached from the daily flow.
Situational awareness requires constant, manual reporting.
The leadership team spends its time on status updates rather than leadership.

With the Fingertip solution

Shared work is built on a clear structure and rhythm that makes execution visible and manageable.

Decisions, accountability, and execution are linked.
Everyone has a single source of truth to decided path and situation.
Strategy and annual clocks are integrated into weekly operations.
Progress reporting happens automatically as a byproduct of work.
Meetings focus on driving the business, not sharing information.

Benefits

Transparency

Create visibility to work in progress and reduce inefficient reporting.

Productivity

Reduce waiting times by having better access to discussion, files and information.

Collaboration

Make roles and responsibilities visible and accountable in any business process.
