The Board of Directors is the ultimate organ of decision-making for an organization. Boards that make sound decisions based on solid facts and the sound judgment of their members are a major aspect of ensuring the success of an organization. Boards can improve the quality of their decisions through learning the factors that influence good decisions and what factors hinder it.
A lingering economic uncertainty and the necessity to attract and motivate millenials, as well as a variety of other issues are making the year more challenging than ever for boards. A smart board blog is a great way for boards and their members to stay on top of the latest developments.
By generating valuable, original content on a blog, a nonprofit’s Board of Directors can be seen as thought leaders in their field. The best boards’ blogs serve as a potent recruiting tool for talented candidates. They can be used to advertise events as well as provide links and information, and even to create new content such as eBooks, checklists as well as infographics, videos and checklists.
Board culture and governance are two of the most popular topics in director blogs. This is due to the growing importance given to ethics and culture as a component of corporate governance. It’s also a reflection of the fact that the majority of corporate boards are composed of shareholders who must also consider the needs of other stakeholders. Therefore, they are more interested in a holistic approach to governance that encompasses culture and ethics as well as strategy and finance.
