HOW THIS COURSE HELPS YOU AND IMPACTS YOUR COLLEAGUES

Today’s boards and senior management teams need to keep pace with increasingly complex mandates. As a result, meeting agendas place greater demands on people than ever before. Whether it’s oversight or operational responsibilities, leaders must tackle multiple priorities.

Between human capital/talent, compliance, AI, cybersecurity, geopolitical risk, risk management, succession planning, budgets, audits, internal and external expectations and more, participants are charged with increased volumes of pre-reading. This requires even more time for meeting pre-reading and, in many cases, additional time around tables or laptop screens.

Agenda package prep may have become increasingly challenging for you, with more reports than ever to secure in a timely manner.

All this leaves you and your people with options. You can plan longer meetings. Or, in adapting to the times, you can proactively collaborate to produce agendas, annual work plans and calendars that reflect strategic, organizational and risk-related priorities. 

When it comes to planning and organizing committee or board meetings, a good EA is like an air traffic controller. There are multiple moving parts. Others may be flying the planes/chairing the meetings, yet you can positively impact outcomes. You can impact meeting effectiveness by collaborating on strategies and systems that also make the most of peoples’ valuable time.

It’s long been a reality that meeting practices could do with improvement. It’s a rare EA who hasn’t seen people running out of steam just as it’s time to tackle key agenda items, or spend more time than necessary on items that are important but not in need of the amount of time they’ve traditionally been given.

In addition to improving meeting efficiencies and effectiveness, this course will help you introduce systems and strategies to help you secure meeting materials from your colleagues in a timely manner. Since relationship management is a key factor in your ability to influence and impact how your committees, team or board approach meetings, you’ll come away with key principles on what it takes to secure collaboration when introducing change.
