| 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!
