Boards of directors come in all shapes and forms and one size doesn't fit all. Also, what was appropriate when you first set out on your business journey will certainly change as your organisation develops. It isn't complicated to achieve an ideal board, if you have a map and a clear guide of instructions for best practice.

fds's Directors Board Pack covers such topics as:

• Understanding what a board meeting really is and how often they should be held
• Who should sit at a board meeting and how long for
• How to prepare a board agenda
• What a board paper looks like and what it should include
• What is the correct tone for a board meeting
• How to test if your board is performing correctly
• Plus much more (see preview for further info)
