Before the pandemic hit, many boards had been getting ready to go digital. This means it’s even more important to communicate effectively even when you’re not in person. Certain methods that work for in-person meetings may not be applicable to online communication. However just a few small modifications can make a massive difference.
Set up a timetable for video calls or emails. A schedule will prevent members from getting behind on communications and ensure that they are checking their email regularly regardless of whether it is a meeting day.
Utilize video conferencing or screen sharing to give your board members the full experience of collaboration in person. These tools allow for audio and video communication, which is crucial to build trust among your team members.
Make sure you be able to assign a minute-taker to your virtual meetings. The person you choose should be able keep all motions recorded verbatim. This includes who initiated the motion and how it was seconded.
Using a whiteboard software that provides real-time markups allows your virtual collaborators to feel more connected to your meeting. Freehand is a favorite option, since it allows users to draw using markers on a whiteboard and also offers a group chat option. However, it doesn’t include the capability of sharing files or documents therefore you’ll require another application for audio, visual or text communication outside of your whiteboard. Another option is Mural which is a whiteboard application with advanced features that are ideal for teams of all sizes. It also can be integrated with other apps to offer additional features.
