A board room is a dedicated space that is designed to host high-level meetings like those involving a company’s board of directors. With an elegant design, a large central table, and the latest technology, it is the area where strategies are forged and decisions are made that define the future of an organization.

Boardrooms are generally more private than conference rooms and have a more formal decor, which reflects the importance of the events they host. They also feature more advanced technology that facilitates greater collaboration and interactivity. They also typically provide privacy and confidentiality, thus preventing unwanted interruptions and eavesdropping during important conversations.

The term “boardroom” as it is typically used, refers to a room in which the board of directors gathers. While this is the primary function of the room however, it is becoming used for other kinds of meetings as well, such as those involving senior management or executives.

The most important element to ensure a successful meeting is clear role definition. According to the findings of a McKinsey report the lack of clarity during meetings can cause confusion and frustration and even lead to poor decision-making. It is therefore essential to ensure that everyone is aware of they are expected to do during an event and who is given the authority to make a decision. This will result in more productive and focused meeting because participants won’t waste time discussing issues that they don’t have a deep understanding of or aren’t responsible for.
