In these unprecedented times, businesses face more challenges than ever before, from supply chain disruptions to changing consumer behaviors. Amidst all this uncertainty, one key element of corporate success remains constant: a strong board of directors. One of the most important functions of the board is to guide the strategic direction of an organization and ensure it’s operating in the best interest of its stakeholders.
The pile-up of meetings at a company can slow progress. Here’s how to clear the lane so your teams can drive more meaningful results.
“ With great power comes great responsibility.” This is a famous line you probably associate with leadership and governance, or simply, boards. Boards hold both great power and responsibility over the company they’re serving. Tasked with oversight, they are responsible for checking the progress of strategies and operations. However, the boards themselves, whether for-profit or nonprofit, may also need an entity to oversee them. This is where the governance committee comes in.
Whether you’re scheduling a one-on-one or a company-wide meeting, or somewhere in between, you’ll want to make sure the meeting was productive for all attendees. With the “Meeting Agenda” template from Mattermost Boards, you and your team can come to every meeting prepared and leave the meeting with clarity. In this guide, we’ll show you how to customize a pre-built Mattermost Boards template to create your own meeting agenda board.
Meetings are an essential part of business communication and collaboration, but they can also be time-consuming and overwhelming. That’s where meeting management apps come in handy. These apps help you organize and streamline your meetings, making them more productive and efficient. With so many meeting management apps available on both Android and iOS platforms, it can be challenging to choose the right one for your needs.
Meeting minute software are a must-have for any organization, business, or team that wants to keep track of what was discussed in a meeting. Not only do they keep everyone on the same page, but they also provide an important record of decisions and discussions that can be referenced at a later date. Moreover, meeting minute software can provide structure and guidance for attendees so they know the agenda of the meeting.
Gathering diverse, international shareholders to meet traditionally involves travel time and a physical venue. The pandemic caused disruptions such as social distancing and travel restrictions that made it nearly impossible to run in-person AGMs. Many companies switched to virtual shareholder meetings in 2020 and 2021. The emergence of virtual AGMs, however, came with new meeting requirements that also changed the way companies engage with shareholders.
2022 has seen heaps of disarray with continued supply chain issues, energy price crises, and rising inflation. Businesses were forced to shift priorities and adopt new policies to continue driving profitability. There were also actions on the regulatory front, particularly in corporate governance, to guide companies into transformation. Moving to 2023, the pressure to adapt to the changing landscape continues.
Board meetings are a critical action that allows company directors to discuss and address company-wide concerns. This is where executives come together to make decisions of strategic importance. Every executive committee wants to run an efficient meeting, but the process can be increasingly time- and data-intensive. But with the rise of board management software, boards can streamline meeting processes and ensure efficiency at the same time.
