A presentation for an upcoming board meeting is different from a normal presentation due to the pressure of time and the requirement for unanimity. Board members are the most important participants in the growth of a business consequently their decisions have a broad impact on the company. To make the right decision they need all the relevant information available in the shortest time possible and with all risks taken into account. That is why it’s important to know what the board wants to achieve through your presentation and that your communication should be geared towards achieving this purpose.

Put your key data in context. You can’t simply present the conversion rate for a new product. It is important to explain to the board how it compares with industry averages or expectations. If the board can come to the right decisions based upon the information they’re looking for and can be more convincing to convince them of your suggestions or vision for the future.

Do some research on the board members’ backgrounds and their interests before present. You can then anticipate their questions and come up with an informed answer to the question and answer session that is held after the presentation. I’ve seen presentations in which the presenter tried to guess the answer to the question. If they were wrong, it could affect their credibility.
