Hybrid board meetings guide

Hybrid board meetings are now a permanent feature of governance practice, offering boards greater flexibility, resilience and access to diverse perspectives. However, hybrid meetings also present unique governance challenges, from participation bias and power dynamics to technology, cybersecurity and decision-making integrity. This practical guide provides directors, chairs, company secretaries and senior executives with actionable guidance to help ensure hybrid meetings support effective governance rather than undermine it. 

Designed as a companion resource to the IoD’s Practice guide for board meetings, this publication builds on established board meeting principles and adapts them for hybrid and virtual environments. It covers meeting design, chairing techniques, technology considerations, voting processes, AGM requirements and ways to foster inclusive participation and robust discussion, helping boards get the best from both in-person and remote engagement.
