2 March – MBS Alumni Toastmaster Club – Presentation to your Board of Directors
|
Congratulations, if you get the chance to make a presentation to your Board of Directors!
|
This is the CEO’s or CFO’s opportunity to speak directly to their Board. It is a golden opportunity to get them to understand your vision, secure buy-in on financial needs and projects and to explain your company’s performance.
|
Tinna Nunno, Distinguished Research Vice President of Gartner, said that a board presentation could be as short as15 minutes. It is important to create and present a concise and compelling presentation to capture your board's SUSTAINABLE interest, get their investment and find out what’s next for your company.
|
To get the support of your board, Tinna shared her winning tips:
|
1. AVOID BORED - build resonance
|
2. BRIEF - keep the presentation to the point
|
3. OPENNESS - show transparency to shareholders of the actual risks and values involved
|
4. ACCURACY - secure accurate data and public information
|
5. RELEVANT - ensure relevance to your board of directors
|
6. DIPLOMATIC - demonstrate your business acumen to deliver results as part of a team
|
7. BUILD a STORY with the 3 ELEMENTS that a board really cares about:
|
(1) Revenue/Mission
|
(2) Cost
|
(3) Risk
|
The more you know about your board, the better the chance to get a unanimous vote!
