Convene's agenda tool makes it possible to build agendas with ease thanks to the option to drag and drop option files in any format. It's also very helpful to be able to upload a new version of a document simply by right-clicking.
We’ve also conducted a couple of surveys through Convene. Previously we were using Survey Monkey, however, Convenes’ Survey function has proved to be equally effective for us.
The Meeting Agenda feature has made a real difference, as previously, we were compiling agendas using PDF packs. It’s also helpful to be able to link documents to an agenda. The automatic page numbering function helps us collate documents easily if new ones are uploaded, and it’s also easy to move or add documents to meeting packs using the drag and drop function.
With Convene, votes are now cast by our board following each agenda item that is discussed during the meeting, as opposed to votes being cast collectively once the meeting has closed. This means that Company Secretaries can audit all agenda items individually after meetings have finished, confirming who has cast votes and to find out if any have been left out.
With Convene’s Document Management tool I upload the business plans and monthly Management Accounts so they can always refer back to the important information that may not have arisen from a specific Board meeting itself but is still highly relevant, for example, governance documents, Declarations of Interest, Articles of Association and year-end accounts.
Convene’s admin and user features are well suited to how we hold our meetings. That being said, the learning process was uncomplicated.
