In this episode of Minutes and Matters, we explore one of the most underestimated yet powerful tools in governance: the board meeting agenda.

Join host Bhumika Arora and governance expert Bhakti Dave as they discuss why the agenda is more than a formality, it’s the foundation of effective oversight and strategic decision-making.

We cover:

• Why redefining the purpose of board meetings matters

• The importance of sending agendas and board packs in advance

• What a well-structured agenda should include

• Challenges boards face in practice—and how to overcome them

• The role of directors in preparing and contributing meaningfully

The message is clear: the agenda isn’t just paperwork—it’s the first step toward excellence in the boardroom.
