Communications: Agenda Development, Session Creation, and Speaker Coaching
Thorough agendas are a driving force for successful advisory board programs. We find that it can quickly become the cornerstone in facilitating superior communications among all stakeholders – executives, company leadership, account teams, and program leads.
Lightspeed will shape your content and coach your executive presenters to maximize engagement and strategic dialogue. Ensure you obtain the input that you seek with our agenda and content development services, which include:
“Lightspeed Marketing has been doing advisory boards for such a long time that they understand how to bring industry standard best practices to the table. They also understand all of the components that are needed to be successful in an advisory board meeting.”
Most importantly, Lightspeed will ensure that your presenters serve as session leads and discussion facilitators, not presenters. Too often presenters speak at advisory board members, slowly torturing attendees with “death-by-PowerPoint” tactics.
