Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA), a state corporation managing Kenya’s medical supply chain, has successfully transitioned to paperless meetings with Convene’s board meeting software. Aiming to enhance board productivity and efficiency, KEMSA sought a solution that would assist them in modernizing governance practices for streamlined project management, seamless collaborations, and faster decision-making.
KEMSA Streamlines Board Processes with Convene
KEMSA’s role in Kenya’s public health is critical, procuring, warehousing, and distributing medical supplies throughout the country. Its implementation of Convene marks a significant step forward, creating layers of improvements in KEMSA’s boardroom operations, including:
Centralized Information Hub: Unifying all board-related information in one space, Convene eliminated the need for KEMSA directors to rely on bulky hard copies of documents. Instead, directors can now access encrypted documents on the app, facilitating informed decision-making in less time.
Seamless Hybrid and Virtual Meetings: Championing the concept of paperless meetings, Convene enables KEMSA’s board of directors and administrators to schedule and organize seamless hybrid and virtual meetings. Directors are now flexible to join and participate in meetings using their preferred devices.
Automated Board Processes: Optimizing board efficiency outside board meetings, Convene empowers KEMSA with its smart and user-friendly tools for automating usual board processes, such as proposal approvals, announcement distribution, and task delegation.
Heightened Security: Maintaining a high-level security, Convene utilizes a sophisticated infrastructure for protecting data. Features such as document encryption, access controls, and audit trails, ensure KEMSA’s 24/7 stringent security.
Convene’s extensive support ensured a smooth transition for KEMSA, paving the way for a streamlined and productive board. Irungu Nyakera, KEMSA’s chair, expressed enthusiasm for their new system, stating, “This platform will be immediately implemented in upcoming board and committee meetings to track all agendas in real-time. We expect the secretariat to upload all information to enable us to make quick references for all meetings.”
