Description

Modern meeting process to guide better decision-making

Are your agendas and minutes time bombs for an unknown judge? Are they effective governance tools that meet legislative compliance requirements?

Are you still following the traditional agenda format despite conclusive evidence that a modern format improves decision-making and board satisfaction?
Do your directors make inconsistent decisions, and discuss and decide the same issues without realizing it?

Learn how agendas and minutes serve two key purposes:

• satisfying the legislative requirements, and
• providing constructive guidance for more effective meetings, and accountability of those responsible for progressing the actions and decisions made at those meetings.

Learn how to set-up a resolutions register that can instantly improve your boards decision-making effectiveness and strategic perspective.

Learn how and when to get the strategic work addressed before routine, administrative compliance tasks.

Templates and simple, practical how to guidance that will improve board performance and satisfy mandatory requirements without needlessly exposing the directors.
