Board Room Management
The boardroom is the place where the most important decisions are made that affect everyone from employees of a company to investors and shareholders. The boardroom must be well-run for ensuring effective leadership and the transparency of organizations.
However, many boards struggle to improve the efficiency of their meetings. Insufficient preparation, ineffective meetings and a lack of cooperation are just a few of the common issues which can hinder boards’ ability to be efficient.
Boards can improve the quality of their meetings by implementing more efficient workflows, and using technology to facilitate collaboration. Implementing a portal for board members with features like centralized storage of files and real-time document collaborative, video conference integration, etc., can aid in achieving this. These tools let board members prepare for and participate in meetings remotely and collaborate regardless of location.
Another way to increase the efficiency of boardroom meetings is to prepare more concise board papers that concentrate on the most important questions to be addressed. Too much detail can actually slow discussion, as directors might spend more time looking at the details, and less time thinking about the bigger picture. This could also limit valuable discussion time from being wasted on rehashing material that was already covered in earlier board meetings. Using technology to provide board members with access to simple and easy materials for their boards will improve the quality of their debates and overall efficiency of meetings. By storing and distributing board materials in the digital boardroom, boards can reduce the cost of printing and distributing hard copies.
