A dynamic agenda is essential for the success of a meeting. It should include the possibility of updating and discussions. How can you ensure the board is actively engaged in discussions that help develop strategies that propel the company ahead, rather than just discussing the information that was distributed?
The importance of putting the most important topics of discussion at the top of the agenda is essential. This will allow the leaders to make meetings more lively by getting to the meaty discussion early. It will also set an expectation that the meeting is more than just a summary of reports. This will lessen the tendency to be distracted by a new topic or spend time on activities that can be shifted to future meetings.
Once the board has deliberated and agreed on the company’s goals The next step is to create an action plan. This will include identifying concrete metrics that align with the objectives, such as a net Promoter Score, levels of customer satisfaction and retention and regional sales or the turnover of employees.
During the discussion, it’s crucial for the board to explore the advantages and disadvantages of every strategy. This will ensure that everyone is clear on what they’re committing to and also that the decision will have a positive effect on the business. It is important to establish an environment that is respectful of board members, so that they are comfortable sharing their views and challenging ideas that are prevalent in a respectful way.
