In this episode of Build Better Boards, hosts Richard Fagerlin and Dr. Keri Jacobs dive into the second leg of the Board Health Model: Process. They explore the question, “How do we work?” and discuss how well-designed processes support effective governance.
Key Takeaways:
- Purpose Drives Process: Effective processes align with the board’s purpose, ensuring actions are meaningful and strategic.
- No One-Size-Fits-All: Tailor processes like committee structures and communication to fit your board’s unique needs.
- Avoiding Pitfalls: Steer clear of overly rigid agendas, getting stuck in the weeds, and neglecting director development.
- Regular Review: Use meeting wrap-ups to evaluate agenda structure, information quality, and process effectiveness.
