Online board meetings can be a useful tool to make effective decisions. If they aren’t well run, they can lead boredom and low levels of participation. To get your virtual meetings to be more engaging take these easy steps to improve the quality of your discussions and enhance efficiency.
Share the agenda before the meeting with all participants to ensure that everyone is aware of what will be discussed. Also, think about asking your board members to attend in a quiet location without distractions. Additionally, ask attendees to use your software’s “raise hand” function whenever they need to speak to avoid rambling and not getting the main point.
Set a time limit for each topic to ensure that the meeting stays focused on the most important issues. This allows everyone to participate and keeps the discussion from going off topic or causing distractions for others. It is a good idea to ask your board members to mute their microphones when they’re not speaking to reduce background noises, such as pets, children and coworkers.
Last but not least, try to end the meeting on time as this will show respect for your fellow board members’ time. It is also a good practice to send the minutes as soon after the meeting has concluded. It also helps to streamline the process for recording and distributing minutes of meetings by using your software for managing boards that has built-in capabilities, like inline task delegation.
Doing so will ensure that everyone on the board is on the same page as to what transpired at the meeting and what should be done in between meetings.
