2 Steps one need to follow before reporting to the board of directors

The first step is to single out the agenda that one will converse with the board of directors. Board meetings have many agendas tabled before them and to capture attention and save time, the subject matter needs to be specific. The topic is special to the owner hence one needs to make it understandable to others (Great Britain, & Rooney, 2008).

The second step is to carry out research on both the reputation of the board members and the topic. Researching will enable an individual to discuss essential facts not heard before by the board members (Great Britain, & Rooney, 2008).

The third step is to send documents prior to the actual meeting. This will help members of the board to acquaint and make the flow much simpler when it comes to presentation. In fact, the prior information will   make the presentation quicker, clear, and accurate (Great Britain, & Rooney, 2008).

One of the strategies of increasing success is capitalizing on relatability. The more relatable a concept of discussion is, the more interpretable it becomes. More so, chances of the members accepting   and implementing becomes clearer. As stated above, a relatable topic leads to understanding into the subject matter and access to a solution becomes visible. The second strategy is to avoid lobbying for the concept presented. One needs not to show perspective but increase understanding on the matter. For instance, if one presents a topic on upgrading information system, stick to the topic and its benefits. Lastly, failure to consolidate the subject matter will increase the chances of failure of a project   and leave cracks for other interpretations outside   the main topic. Therefore, one needs to learn everything possible about the topic of discussion (Great Britain, & Rooney, 2008).
