Board readiness for SMEs

Get more out of your board. Even when you don’t have one.

BoardReady is a board platform that challenges you before and during the decision and holds on to it afterwards. So what you decide doesn’t vanish between meetings. Use it with your own board, or let four virtual board members challenge you on your own figures.

BoardReady is a solid tool that gathers much of the practical board work in one place, creates structure and facilitates the essential points of attention and discussions. I would particularly recommend it to boards of owner-managed SMEs.

Tools like these stand or fall on whether busy executives and board members actually put them to use. That is where BoardReady gets it right: the automation keeps the threshold low, the layout is easy to grasp, and the help to act on it is concrete.

The seven modules, in depth

Each module handles one part of board work — from your figures and the virtual board to risk, governance, crisis readiness and decision speed.

Virtual board

Write what you are considering. Four virtual members — finance, organisation, strategy, sales — ask for your accounts, budget and cash budget and test it like a real board: each asks one critical question, and they say what they would look at themselves and which solutions they see. The virtual board saves and remembers the answers and follows up over time.

My concern with tools like these is that they create more work. BoardReady doesn’t. It is easy and intuitive, and it keeps the focus on what the board actually needs to decide.

For SMEs, a running overview of activities and status can make board work more useful and ease reporting at the same time. That is exactly where I see the potential in BoardReady.
