Stay updated on innovation in board management platforms and explore new solutions that might just be the answer to boosting your board\u2019s productivity and leadership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine-tune the onboarding process.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology can help your board members bring value to your organization even on their very first day. When you welcome new board members to the team, the last thing you want is to stall their momentum with a dull, inefficient onboarding process. Board members need to get up and running quickly, and your board technology can refine that process with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Centralized onboarding resources.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your organization likely has many resources your board members will need to familiarize themselves with in order to understand the inner workings of your organization and their role in it. Centralized online storage allows you to combine all of these resources into one location, saving you the time of sharing everything individually (or worse, overwhelming them with mountains of paper).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Streamlined forms.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Between commitment forms and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boardable.com\/blog\/conflict-of-interest-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conflicts of interest forms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, filling out paperwork is a necessary, although time-consuming, part of the onboarding experience. Speed up this process with eSignatures and online documentation storage, allowing your new members to spend their time learning about your organization instead of filling out tedious paperwork.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>One-step communication updates. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may sound obvious, but don\u2019t forget to update all of your email lists to include your new board members. The right board software can transform this from a monotonous task into a one-step process after adding them to your system. Your platform will be a one-stop-shop for communication, documents, tasks, and everything else they need to stay informed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that a smooth onboarding process isn\u2019t just relevant for your new board members, either. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teamheller.com\/resources\/blog\/3-key-lessons-change-management\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key changes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in technology, communication practices, and organizational policies all require your board members to refresh themselves on fundamental forms and materials that can be found in your onboarding process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streamline planning for board meetings.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meetings are your board\u2019s core method for discussing organizational performance and implementing changes at your organization. Well-planned meetings are the optimal time to bring your board together to collaborate on your organization\u2019s strategies. By contrast, poorly-planned meetings can lead to wasted time for both your board members and your organization as a whole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Board technology can streamline your meeting planning process to allow for faster planning and more prepared meetings. Here are just a few aspects of your planning that you can target for improved efficiency:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Automate scheduling to eliminate the tedious process of lining up meetings.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Finding the time for even a handful of people to meet can be a hassle. Board software automates this process, keeping your meetings consistent and on schedule.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Board administrators can build and share dynamic agendas.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Board administrators are responsible for preparing useful agendas that address everything your board needs to discuss and keep meetings on track. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boardable.com\/blog\/board-administrator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boardable\u2019s guide to board administration<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests supporting your administrator with digital tools to build and securely share dynamic agendas that cover all vital discussion items.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Centralize documentation so everyone knows what to review.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nothing on your agenda should ever be a surprise to your board members. Centralizing documentation allows board members to quickly get up to speed on upcoming topics and review any documents you\u2019ve shared to prepare for their next meeting.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It may seem excessive, but all of the prep work you complete before meetings directly impacts how effective your board members will be when they\u2019re finally together. If your board members only meet a few times a year, your pre-meeting preparation becomes even more vital for ensuring board members can devote that time to focused conversation instead of shuffling through papers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve board meeting facilitation.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While your planning determines your board meeting\u2019s efficiency, successful meetings also follow best management practices <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">during <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the meeting. Make sure all of your dedicated planning doesn\u2019t go to waste by leveraging your board software to improve how your meetings are facilitated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teamheller.com\/resources\/blog\/what-does-digital-transformation-look-like-today-for-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">today\u2019s technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can transform facilitation and keep the conversation flowing in the boardroom:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digital voting. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Voting is one of your board\u2019s most important responsibilities, and keeping a record of votes ensures your organization remains transparent. Digital voting tools help simplify the voting process, and some software solutions even have the option to enable anonymous voting, which may be necessary for sensitive matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Virtual and hybrid meetings.<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/boardable.com\/blog\/hybrid-board-meetings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual and hybrid board meetings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have been used by some organizations for quite some time, and recently they\u2019ve become the new norm for many organizations. Being able to host board meetings, no matter where your members are, creates a more convenient meeting experience and opens your board up to new members from outside your local community.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Informative minutes recording.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Meeting minutes are an official record of your board meetings. They serve multiple purposes from helping absent members catch up on what they missed to following your organization\u2019s internal governance protocols. The right technology will help quicken this process, allowing you to record discussions and final decisions directly on your agenda.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the past, technology may have been optional for running well-organized meetings. Today, with the increased popularity and necessity of virtual meetings, meeting management technology is a necessity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/recharity.ca\/nonprofit-working-from-home-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Re:charity\u2019s guide to working from home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommends a few platforms that organizations running remote meetings should explore, ranging from basic software most people are familiar with such as Google Suite and Zoom, to more specialized solutions that target organizational (and board!) management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaidn productivity outside of the boardroom.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, we\u2019ve stressed the importance of board meetings, and for good reason. Meetings are when vital decisions are made. However, it\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">after<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meetings that these decisions are implemented. Fortunately, comprehensive board software solutions take this into account and can boost your members\u2019 efficiency outside of meetings by allowing them to:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>See complete and incomplete tasks for individual board members to ensure objectives are met.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Even the most <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/doublethedonation.com\/tips\/employee-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engaged board members<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> won\u2019t be able to follow through on responsibilities if they don\u2019t know what their next steps are. Your board software should allow you to designate responsibilities and update tasks as they are completed to keep board members on track.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stay in contact and review resources.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There\u2019s something wrong if your board members have to wait for your next meeting to get in touch with each other. All of your board members should have the necessary communication tools to reach out to each other and share resources to help complete their individual objectives.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Assess progress toward goals.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Your board works to provide value for your organization. But how do you measure that work? Reporting tools enable boards to set goals, both for the board and the organization as a whole, keeping your board focused on moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the right board software can be an investment. While each organization has its own approach for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teamheller.com\/resources\/blog\/whats-the-right-approach-to-technology-selection-for-your-nonprofit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">selecting technology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, most can find the solution that\u2019s right for them by making a list of their must-have features. For example, an organization that has trouble following up with board members after meetings may want to prioritize solutions with strong communication tools and task-management features designed for accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right technology can simplify board management, allowing your board to reinvest its focus into strategizing and setting your organization up for success. However, bear in mind that even the most sophisticated technology is ultimately a tool, and its helpfulness will be determined by how your organization uses it. After all, your board members likely have a wide range of tech fluency levels, meaning user-friendly, intuitive tools may ultimately be more successful at transforming your board for the better than the newest, most complex software available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeb is the founder and CEO of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/boardable.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boardable<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a board management software provider for mission-driven boards.
