A board room meeting is a formal gathering of the organization’s management, with a focus on oversight, governance, and decision-making. The meetings can be scheduled regularly (such as quarterly or monthly) or ad hoc, according to the urgency of the issue.

A well-planned agenda for meetings ensures that the boardroom meeting flows smoothly and that all important issues are discussed within the time frame available. It is crucial to keep minutes of meetings concise and clear, so that board members can look them over later, or pass them on to other stakeholders.

The most productive meetings conclude with an agenda of follow-up tasks and actions for the board to pursue between meetings. Boardable’s Minutes Maker features allow you to quickly create minutes of your board meetings and publish them for distribution, and the Task Manager lets you to assign specific tasks to the board members. Distribute minutes as soon as possible, ideally one week after the next meeting. This will ensure that everyone is aware of their roles and responsibilities.

It is important to create an environment that encourages respect and collaboration. Encourage diverse perspectives and use the tools for communication on the board portal to promote active listening.

Additionally, it’s beneficial to hold informal meetings outside of the boardroom, to create friendship and a more natural flow of conversation during formal meetings. This is particularly beneficial if your company has an international presence. In this case, you can take the board to operational locations and observe how things operate in the field. This will allow the board to become more involved in the business and also help the bottom line.
