Effective board meetings permit a robust discussion which is based on data and analysis that allows for clear decision-making. To achieve this you must create an engaging atmosphere where everyone’s views are appreciated and accepted and active participation from all. This can be achieved through various facilitation strategies to encourage participation, such as rotating who is in charge of the discussion on an agenda item, and urging board members to speak up and share their opinions in a respectful manner.
Board members should be encouraged to prepare for board meetings by reading relevant reports, presentations and other information in advance. This will allow for a more focused discussion at the meeting. The software for the Board portal can assist in this.
A well-organized and complete agenda should be circulated prior to the board meeting, allowing an appropriate amount of time for each item. The agenda should be developed together with input from the board portal executives, the board chair, and board members. This ensures that the most important issues are discussed, and that any tangential discussions don’t hinder valuable discussions. It is also crucial to include an overview of the topics to be discussed, enabling attendees to organize and concentrate their thoughts ahead of the meeting. This can be accomplished by incorporating a brief description and the main purpose of each item on the board packet. Finally, a spotlight section should be included to allow the CEO to review the key issues of the meeting and to encourage discussion on these.
