Streamlining board work with BetterBoard

Director Jan Grimstrup Larsen shares how Nyborg Strand – Hotel and Conference Center – has achieved a more structured, efficient and user-friendly approach to board work and collaboration with external parties through the use of BetterBoard’s board portal.

A structured approach to boards and working groups

At Nyborg Strand, Jan Grimstrup Larsen and his team have taken a structured approach to board work by implementing BetterBoard’s board portal.

One of the areas where BetterBoard has proven particularly useful is in connection with workspaces for different teams and external partners. “We have created workspaces where our external auditors and other relevant parties can easily access necessary documents. “This means we avoid having a great number of emails back and forth, and we always have the latest version of our material in one place,” he explains.

“With BetterBoard, we’ve brought everything together in one place. “It gives us a secure and efficient solution to organise our board work and other internal work processes,” says Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

Intuitive board portal

Before implementing BetterBoard, Nyborg Strand used a more manual approach to board work, where documents were shared via emails and folders on internal drives. “It was confusing and inefficient. We spent a lot of time ensuring that everyone had the latest versions of the documents,” says Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

The choice fell on BetterBoard because it offered a structured and user-friendly solution that could collect all relevant information in one place. “We chose BetterBoard because it was the most intuitive solution that everyone could use without extensive training. “It makes a difference in terms of fast and efficient onboarding,” explains Jan.

Onboarding saves time and creates an overview

One of the great advantages of BetterBoard is the ability to organise documents and decision-making bases in a way that makes them easy to access for current and future board members. “It really means a lot that we can already systematise the material for future boards. “They can easily go back and find documentation for decisions made around, for example, renovation of the reception, lounge areas and new room wings,” says Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

Usability is paramount

One of the greatest strengths of BetterBoard is its ease of use. “It’s incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Whether you are familiar with digital systems or not, everyone can get started quickly. “It makes a huge difference in everyday life, where we can save time and avoid technical frustrations,” says Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

Top-notch support and development

For Jan Grimstrup Larsen, the support at BetterBoard has been a great advantage. “Something that really makes a difference is that if we have a question or a challenge, they respond immediately. “Everything is updated on the same day, and if we have any suggestions or concerns, it is taken seriously and forwarded for development,” he says.

In a time when data security and transparency are crucial, Jan also greatly appreciates that BetterBoard is a Danish company, where data is hosted within the EU and has Danish developers.

“It gives us peace of mind to know that our data is handled under European standards and that we can get support from people who understand our needs,” explains Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

The value that BetterBoard creates

BetterBoard has not only optimised the workflow at Nyborg Strand – it has also created greater value for the board. “It has given us a much more professional and structured approach to board work. We save time, get better document management and a much more efficient meeting process,” explains Jan Grimstrup Larsen.

The digital solution has been particularly beneficial in terms of creating an overview, ensuring GDPR compliance and streamlining decision-making processes. “It gives us peace of mind to know that everything is together and secure, and that we can access it exactly when we need it,” he says.

Would you recommend BetterBoard to others?

When it comes to recommending BetterBoard to other companies, Jan Grimstrup Larsen has no doubts: “I would always recommend BetterBoard to others who want a professional and structured solution for board work. It makes a real difference in everyday life and creates value for the entire organisation.”

A future-proof platform

By bringing everything together in BetterBoard, Nyborg Strand achieves a long-term solution that makes it easier to preserve knowledge and documentation. “It’s so nice that everything is gathered in one place. “New board members can quickly gain insight into decisions and see what underlies them,” says Jan Grimstrup Larsen.
