Board meetings
Board meeting presentation: template, structure and examples
Upload last quarter's board pack, a Word memo or your management accounts, and say what you need the board to decide. Arcdeck drafts the meeting deck around those decisions, from the summary and the numbers to the risks and the ask, then writes and designs every slide.
No card needed. 17 slide layouts, 22 templates, 12 languages.

What you get
Built around the decisions
The deck leads with what you're asking the board to approve and why, then gives the evidence, so the meeting time goes on the decisions.
KPIs and financials against plan
Results become charts and key-number slides that show the change against plan and the last period.
Risks stated plainly
Each risk gets its own headline with what you're doing about it, ready for the board's discussion.
Presented deck or pre-read
Keep the presented deck to 10 to 15 slides with the detail in an appendix, or make a fuller version to send ahead as the pre-read.
How it works
Step 1
Describe it or upload it
A sentence is enough. Or add PDF, Word or PowerPoint files, a link, or pasted notes.
Step 2
Shape the storyline
Arcdeck drafts the argument as headlines. Reorder, reword or cut them, then pick a template.
Step 3
Get the slides
Every slide is written and designed, with charts and speaker notes. Present, share a link, or export.
Templates that suit it
All 22 templatesQuestions
An executive summary, KPIs against plan, financials, progress on strategic initiatives, the main risks, the decisions needed from the board, and an appendix for the detail. Arcdeck drafts these as headlines you can reorder, add to or cut before slides are written.
Your first deck takes about a minute.
