INTEGRATED MEETING INTERFACE

## Actions + agendas, unified

Tired of flicking between your actions tables and meeting agenda, trying to figure out what goes where?

boardcycle eliminates double-handling by integrating actions and agendas on a single, drag-and-drop meeting interface where you can easily allocate actions to the items where they will be addressed.

You can even export a board-ready matters arising table at the click of a button, straight from your boardcycle meeting interface.

#### Action excellence without **Excel**

END-TO-END ACTION MANAGEMENT

## Action-tracking on autopilot

We've designed our action tracker to give you full visibility of every action from the moment it's raised to the moment it's closed - and every step in between.

New actions are added from the meeting where they are raised and linked to the meeting where they will be closed. Every status change and every update is automatically recorded - never wonder what happened to an action again.

#### Close the action loop **automatically**

ACTIONS TABLES

## One dashboard, total control

View and manage all your actions through automatically generated tables available for each board/committee, or consolidated across your entire governance structure.

Update statuses, add notes, reassign owners all in the one place and then export into Word whenever you need. Everything you need to ensure nothing falls through the cracks and every commitment gets delivered.

### Not quite ready to automate your actions?

If you're not quite ready for the leap into our end-to-end automation, an efficient manual process is the next best thing. To get your started, we've used the knowledge from our actions feature to build an actions items tracker template that you can download and use for free!

[DOWNLOAD ACTION ITEMS TEMPLATE](https://www.boardcycle.com/board-actions-template?hsLang=en)

[![boardcycle action items template, free download](https://www.boardcycle.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Action%20Items%20thumbnail.png?width=500&height=500&name=Action%20Items%20thumbnail.png "boardcycle action items template, free download")](https://www.boardcycle.com/board-actions-template?hsLang=en)

## Making actions add value

*"There are two things that are really important: that the actions or the matters arising are documented in a way that is accurate, and that the actions that are noted add value."*

Actions shouldn't be a laundry list - they're critical meeting outcomes that must add value for both the Board and the Management team. Listen to our podcast to learn why, and how to make sure your matters arising matter.
