You don’t just save on the cost of the paper, either: You reduce courier costs by not needing to ensure secure delivery of board packs. The cost of training executives and other team members in using a board portal to allow you to have paperless meetings will easily be offset by the longer term savings you’re going to enjoy.

In terms of feeding back, I would suggest you use an online task list that you can share with your boss, that way you don’t have to constantly let them know when you have actioned requests they can see the evidence for themselves.
