Board rooms are the core of strategic decision-making in which ideas are developed and decisions shaped to steer organizations toward success. The boardroom, which was once reserved for board meetings is now a space that can be used for team and executive events and meetings. This this shift is a result of a trend in the industry to open and inclusive workplaces that boost productivity and culture.

What is a Boardroom?

The boardroom is an important meeting space that can accommodate anywhere from 20 – 48 individuals. The room is used to host team gatherings, workshops and seminars. Room rates are based on rental periods of 4 or 8 hours using the basic audiovisual equipment that is included in the reservation.

A modern digital boardroom is a communication, meeting and document management system that assists in streamlining and improving board meetings. It combines purpose built software with easy note taking tools that allow for effective collaboration in real-time. Digital boardrooms also come with engagement analytics, which give an insight into the areas of material for boards that are most read and analysed by members. This lets boards prepare for meetings with the most up-to date information. This also ensures that everyone has equal access to information.

Digital boardrooms can also be a more reliable method of sharing information than the traditional paper method. Papers are shuffled and couriers may make mistakes, and files can be lost during transport or destroyed due to a mistake. With a digital boardroom, the information is secured and safe from these threats.
