Online board meetings that are productive rely on several elements including an agenda that is well-planned and clear communication protocols as well as reliable technology. Boards that adopt best practices can still reach high levels productivity despite these hurdles.
Begin your meeting with an open discussion. It is possible to stimulate discussions by asking questions that inspire participants to speak up. A polling tool or survey at the start of your meeting can also help you identify areas for improvement.
Reduce the time you spend on reports and other “must-do” items. You’ll lose attendees’ interest and focus if take them through a lengthy report. As a rule of thumb you should not dedicate more than 25% of your meeting on these types of discussions. This will leave plenty of time for discussions on more strategic topics.
You want to ensure that everyone has a positive experience at your meeting. Make use of the Boardable platform to increase participation and create a friendly atmosphere for all attendees. Encourage members of the board to attend meetings on time and to observe meeting etiquette and to maintain a high degree of professionalism.
For a successful online board meeting, board members must be aware of their role within the organisation and how it impacts others. By using tools such as Boardable’s Minutes Maker and Task Manager, it’s easy for board members to review their responsibilities between meetings and stay informed about the progress and issues. This encourages collaboration among the board and facilitates a effective, efficient online meetings.
