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.
