The coronavirus lockdown has already led to huge changes, with remote working being the ‘new norm’. The advantages of virtual board meetings have been widely promoted in the press and on social media. Organisational leaders must adapt quickly to hold meetings and make high quality, inclusive decisions remotely.

Running remote meetings isn't just about video conferencing tools and conference calls, security of information is also a priority with confidential meeting packs often held behind multiple layers of encryption. To preserve productivity and ensure value you need to handle papers, agendas, decisions and tasks in a secure and efficient way.

Decision Time Meetings is central to a suite of governance, risk and performance tools. It simplifies meeting management, increases productivity, reduces costs and supports good governance. Meeting attendees can read and annotate their meeting packs easily, assign tasks, share notes, have conversations with colleagues and record their decisions. All of this in one simple interface on a tablet, laptop or desktop.

Attendees can read and easily annotate documents, assign tasks, share notes and interact with colleagues in a secure online tool.

CHIC has managing agent ARK Consultancy, working with Decision Time, which will fund access to Meetings until the end of September 2020. After that time, you can decide if you want to keep using it, with no obligation to buy.

The system can be set up in 24 hours and contains quick start guides and training videos to get you up and running. To provide additional support we can also deliver free webinar training for meeting organisers / administrators.
