Designed for smaller groups of people (usually between 8 to 20 people) Board rooms are usually equipped with large screens or projectors, as well as the capability of teleconferencing. A central table is typically provided for face-toface discussions. They are usually separated from the rest of the office, ensuring privacy and minimising distracting factors.
Typically, a boardroom is where meetings are held with the board of directors. The board of directors is a group that is chosen by shareholders to manage a corporation. It is responsible for key issues such as financial planning and strategic planning, policy formulation, and major investments.
Boardroom meetings generally have a formal structure with the attendees being the board of directors, and sometimes external advisors and key managers. The primary purpose is to come to a an agreement and encourage a vibrant and strong board culture.
With the development of digital technology boardrooms are becoming more flexible and streamlined. Digital boardrooms function as a meeting, communication, and document storage solution that can simplify the management of the board process and making meetings more efficient. It also eliminates paper-based documents that are prone to being lost or mishandled, and the frustration of enduring hours or even days to get an updated version.
A spacious boardroom is ideal and comfortable for all participants especially during long sessions lasting eight hours or more. The size and seating arrangement are crucial. A room with a couch can keep the energy levels high throughout the session.
