We have recently developed and internally launched a bespoke ‘board portal’ App for our Board of Governors. The first phase of the app (launched in summer 2023) includes access to meeting papers, live strategic performance monitoring reports, live risk and compliance reports, further reading including training and development resources, a news feed, user control of personal information, user declarations of (and management of) interests, and an integrated expenses claim process.
As the App is part of the Microsoft Apps, it is fully secure and integrated with our University’s Teams, SharePoint and Power BI resources, with process automation through Power Automate.
This was developed at very low cost – with a low internal resource requirement (developed in a couple of weeks by the Head of Business Intelligence and Board Secretary), with marginal increase to existing Microsoft licenses (to enable Board access to PowerBI reports). The solution is very low maintenance – with the Board Secretary able to self-serve most changes. We’ve just collected the first round of user feedback and are working toward phase two.
This session introduces and explores the functionality within the solution, and enables opportunity for questions and discussion around limitations and opportunities linked to this approach.

Robyn Wyatt, Head of Governance Services, Secretary to the Board of Governors, Falmouth University
