The basic value that a board portal must contribute includes streamlining the board’s work, which is one of several elements which leads to a board of directors that creates more value.
BetterBoard’s board software can display the board’s meeting preparation as a score during each meeting. This score provides a visual indication of how prepared the board members are for the selected board meeting.
Good meeting preparation, where everyone is ready and well informed, is essential for board meetings. The preparation score does not show anything about the individual board member; instead, it is an overall score for the preparation of the board as a whole. The function is not intended to monitor individual members; instead, it is intended as a tool for discussion in the event that the preparation for the meetings is deemed inadequate, for example by the chairperson. It can thus encourage discussions at the meetings, related to how this can be changed or improved.
It is in the common interest of the board that everyone is as well prepared as possible for the meetings, and this tool can help tackle any issues.
