In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of the consent agenda—a powerful tool for enhancing efficiency in board meetings. We explore how it groups non-controversial and routine items for quick approval, allowing boards to focus on strategic discussions. We also address potential risks and transparency concerns, providing practical insights on implementing and managing a consent agenda effectively. By the end, listeners will understand how this method can save time, improve governance, and streamline decision-making, while maintaining accountability and flexibility.
