A successful board meeting requires a fluid agenda that consists of a mix of discussions and updates. But how do you ensure that the board is engaging in discussions that are aimed at creating strategies that propel the business forward instead of just discussing information that already has been distributed?
Prioritizing the most important topics of discussion at the top is crucial. This will help the leadership to get meetings moving by getting to the meaty discussion early. It will also establish an expectation that the gathering is more than a simple report-writing exercise. This will lessen the chance of being distracted by new topics or waste time on activities that can be moved to later meetings.
After the board has deliberated and agreed on the organization’s strategies The next step is to design an action plan. This includes the identification and definition of concrete metrics that are aligned with these goals such as net promoter score (NPS), customer retention and satisfaction, sales by region or employee turnover.
During the discussion it is crucial that the board examines the pros and cons of each option. This will ensure that everyone is aware of what they’re agreeing to and that the decisions made will have a positive impact on the business. It is also essential to establish a culture of respect, to ensure that the board members are comfortable expressing their opinions and challenging the prevailing ideas with respect.
