When you think of a corporate boardroom, you probably envision a large space dominated by a mahogany table and leather chairs. There may be a speakerphone and old gooseneck microphones along with a projector for PowerPoint presentations.
Boardrooms are typically used just four days a year, so few organizations give much thought to updating them. That’s unfortunate because the boardroom can and should be one of the most dynamic rooms in the building. Modern technology can create an integrated, collaborative space that will impress clients and investors and facilitate executive decision-making.
It all starts with an integrated approach to boardroom design. Consider all the technology tools that are available in many offices today — an IP phone, video conferencing capabilities, a large-format display, and a docking station for mobile devices. Any huddle room, conference room or meeting facility should replicate that user experience, and the boardroom is no exception.
Boardrooms are also unique in that they must keep the needs and preferences of executives in mind. The technology needs to be simple to use, yet project a sleek, state-of-the-art look that enhances the organization’s image.
Acoustics are extremely important. Many executive management teams are scattered across the country and around the globe. Meetings aren’t going to be very productive if remote participants can’t hear what’s being said. In order for voice and video conferences to be crystal clear, you need the right communication platform and intelligent microphones and speakers.
