A presentation made for a board meeting is different to a normal presentation because of the time pressure and the need for unanimity. Board members hold the most stake in a company’s success so their decisions will have far-reaching consequences for the business. In order to make the right decision they require all the relevant information in the shortest period of time feasible, and incorporating all risk. It is crucial to understand what the board is trying to achieve through your presentation and why your presentation must be geared towards achieving this purpose.
The best way to accomplish that is by putting your data points in context. You can’t simply present the conversion rate of a new product. You have to show the board how it compares to industry averages or expectations. If the board can draw right conclusions from the data they’re searching for, it will be much easier for them to buy into your recommendations or vision for the future.
Do some research on the background of the board members and interests prior to present. This will allow you to anticipate the questions they might pose and then incorporate them into your presentation or prepare with a considered answer for an Q&A at the end of your presentation. I’ve seen presentations where the presenter tried to guess what the question was however if they answered the wrong answer, it could cause a major impact on their credibility.
