Annual Agenda Planning
The Annual Agenda is probably the most misunderstood of the board’s agendas. It is useful to think about it as the board’s annual work plan. It is in the annual agenda that the board takes on learning, ownership linkage and future environmental scanning.
When the board consistently develops and works a targeted, future-oriented annual agenda, followed with refining Ends policy, the board is then in a position to advance the organization through Ends development.
