Virtual Board Room Features

Virtual meetings have become a staple in the world of business in the midst of the pandemic. They can save businesses time and money, while keeping everyone on the same page. However, organising effective virtual board meetings is not an simple task. It is harder to keep attendees engaged especially when they’re unable to discern body language or facial expressions. Additionally, it is easier to become distracted when you are talking over video conferencing. It is also difficult to stay away from checking your email or checking the latest news.

The most important aspect of conducting successful virtual meetings is making sure that all the information shared during the meeting is secure. Virtual boardroom features like encryption, two-factor verification, and a personalized access system ensure that only those who have been approved to attend the virtual meeting.

In addition to protecting the information that is shared in virtual meetings, virtual boards also offer a more organized method of storing and managing documents for boards. Digital boardrooms allow meetings to be hosted in real time on a single platform and all directors have access to meeting materials before the meeting. Digital boards include annotation tools to allow participants to highlight key sections of the document, or make notes during meetings. Engagement analytics also provide insights into which parts of the document are getting the most attention, so that board members are well prepared for meetings and participate in meaningful discussions.

You should consider attending GrowCFO’s Virtual Boardroom Program for a better understanding of how to conduct more productive virtual meetings. The course is designed to prepare future finance leaders to handle difficult conversations in the boardroom. The cases are based on real-life scenarios that you will have to deal with in your first CFO position and is taught by a professional mentor who has years of experience.
