Board Meeting is where a company’s leadership team, comprised of directors as well as senior executives discuss the company’s performance, progress, and goals. They also make decisions on major policy issues and strategic direction.
The board usually reviews the business’s performance over the last quarter and compares it to the goals set by management. It also talks about the issues that could have arisen during the timeframe and board members share their knowledge of how the company can address these issues. The board will also discuss new business opportunities that are presented to them. Attendees will have the opportunity to consider each possibility, including pros and cons, as well as the cost of investing. They will also be able to discuss the impact it could have on the company’s profit.
It’s important to clearly communicate the process for making decisions during a board meeting including whether it’s via consensus or voting. This will ensure that everyone on the board feels involved and have the ability to contribute their thoughts.
A process that collects feedback can be an effective tool to improve the quality of meetings in the future. This could be done by asking members of the board to rate the effectiveness of the meetings at the start and at the conclusion of each meeting, or as an informal poll at the end of the meeting. The leadership can use this feedback to make future meetings more productive.
