Productive Online Board Meetings
Board meetings that are successful depend on several elements, including an agenda that is well-prepared clear communication protocols and dependable technology. Boards that adhere to best practices can still reach high levels of productivity despite these challenges.
Begin your meeting with an open discussion. You can stimulate discussions by asking questions that stimulate participants to speak up. Also, kicking off your meeting with a survey or polling tool can help you identify areas that need to be improved.
Limit the amount of time you spend on reports and “have to” items. It is likely that attendees will lose attention and focus if you overwhelm them with tedious reporting. As a general rule, allocate no more than 25 percent of your time for these kinds of discussions. This will enable more strategic discussions.
Be sure that everyone is satisfied at your meeting. Use the Boardable platform to increase participation and create a welcoming atmosphere for all attendees. Encourage board members to attend meetings on time and to adhere to the rules of conduct at meetings and to maintain a high degree of professionalism.
For a successful online board meeting, board members must be aware of their roles within the company and how it affects other members. By using tools such as Boardable’s Minutes Maker and Task Manager, it’s simple for board members to update their roles between meetings and remain informed about the progress and issues. This helps to encourage collaboration and results in an even more productive and lively online meetings.
