Common Mistakes to Avoid in Your Board Reports
Your board report is essential to keeping your board members informed on all the important developments since your last meeting. A well-written and concise report on your board will enhance your overall organization’s performance and allow you to achieve the highest quality results for your customers.
Many companies struggle to craft the perfect board report that is loved by their clients. A poorly written report can lead to confusion, ineffective decision-making, and lack of clarity regarding the direction of your organization. To ensure your board reports are efficient and effective there are some common mistakes to avoid.
Do not include a comprehensive executive summary Executive summary is a crucial part of your report to the board. It provides information and context for every slide of your report, allowing your board to easily understand and be able to absorb the information that you’re sharing.
Only presenting positive news: Presenting only positive news in your report to the board can be misleading to the board, and influence their decision making. A great report on the board should always be transparent and include both successes and failures for an honest, balanced and well-rounded review.
Not including reports from committees by including the status of all committees in your report, you will keep your board members updated on the most recent developments, as well as any issues that could arise.
Inadvertently using visuals: Your board members are more likely to read and interact with your report if it includes infographics, tables, and images. Visual information is processed more efficiently by the human brain than text alone. Incorporate some form of visualisation in your board reports.
