A boardroom is a place where your team can meet and discuss the most important issues that can affect your company’s success. It is a place where decisions are made and it is vital that it is well-appointed and professionally designed.
According to an Gensler research report the Gensler research report states that knowledge workers spend only 34 percent of their time doing individual work. The rest of their time is spent in meeting rooms. These meetings may include all-hands, department/team, and project meetings, as well as one-on-one meetings. These meetings are essential for collaboration and decision-making. While a boardroom is a great option for larger-scale meetings smaller meetings could be held anywhere in your office. In most instances, all you need for a team-building meeting is two conference tables and chairs.
Your boardroom should be flexible and provide a variety of seating options to ensure most efficient meeting results. The seating arrangement you select is vital and should be determined by the topic of discussion as well as the audience. A theatre layout, for instance, can give the presentation gravitas and help people feel more at ease. A classroom layout could be used to teach and educate viewers.
Another aspect to consider is the requirements for your AV. A modern boardroom must be equipped with video conferencing technologies that can facilitate face-toface meetings, as well as digital whiteboards and display screens. LED video walls are becoming popular because they are smaller and more portable than traditional monitors or projectors yet still offer the same quality image.
