If done properly Board meetings can be productive and enthralling. To do this, board members should be comfortable discussing difficult issues in a secure environment and working together. This requires implementing best practices that promote collaboration, efficiency, and efficient governance.
A great place to start is to confirm that there is a quorum present. This is accomplished by confirming that all necessary directors are present for the meeting to go on. The board should then review agenda items and approve minutes of previous meetings.
The board will then discuss any significant updates, or milestones which have been accomplished since the last meeting. It is also a great opportunity to address any issues that need to be addressed and identify roadblocks that need addressing. The board should also work together on future strategies which can be implemented to propel the business forward.
Discussion topics should be vetted and prioritized before the meeting to ensure that all relevant topics are discussed in adequate detail. This can be accomplished by creating an extensive agenda prior to the meeting, and then distributing it to the participants to review. A well-rounded agenda for a board should include a specific timeframe for each item, to guide discussions.
By following these best practices, you will engage in productive and meaningful discussions at every board meeting. This results to better decisions and a better organisation. Are you interested in knowing more about running an effective board of directors meeting?
