Why your board of directors at Foster Rosières is changing the quality of decision-making

Organising a board meeting is not just about booking a meeting room 

A board meeting is rarely just a simple appointment in the diary.

It is a moment where structuring decisions are made: strategic directions, investments, governance, the future of teams.

And yet, how many meetings still take place in anonymous rooms, under fluorescent lights, squeezed between two meetings?

AtFoster Rosières, the board meeting takes on another dimension.

When the setting influences governance 



“Alone, it is difficult to change the world. Around the table, everything becomes possible.”

Louis du Bois, CEO of Foster

At Foster, this phrase is not a marketing slogan. It is lived. 

The estate has been designed as an ecosystem where everything invites you to slightly slow down the pace to think better: 

  • an arrival that disconnects you from the city, 

  • rooms open to nature, 

  • a present silence, never oppressive. 

This change of setting creates an immediate effect: exchanges are more measured, listening is more attentive, debates are more qualitative. 

More effective meetings, not longer 

Contrary to popular belief, stepping outside the traditional framework does not lengthen meetings. 

On the contrary: 

  • conversations are more direct, 

  • the unspoken emerges more easily, 

  • decisions are better aligned. 

Walking for a few minutes between two agenda points, sharing lunch around a table designed for discussion, looking away from your screen... These are all micro-disruptions that promote strategic clarity. 

A place aligned with current governance issues 

More and more boards of directors are questioning: 

  • sustainability, 

  • impact, 

  • long-term responsibility, 

  • the coherence between discourse and decisions. 

Foster is not a 'green' backdrop. It is a place that truly operates according to these principles: energy autonomy, agriculture, artisans, short supply chains, long-term thinking. 

Holding a board meeting here lends weight to discussions on responsible strategy. Decisions are grounded in reality.

Hospitality designed for sensitive moments.

A board of directors also involves: 

  • tensions, 

  • trade-offs, 

  • sometimes strong disagreements. 

At Foster, everything is designed tomaintain a serene environment: simple and smooth welcome, flexible spaces, and catering that extends the exchange without weighing it down. 

Hospitality is never intrusive. It supports the substance without stealing the spotlight. 

Organise your next board meeting differently.

Organising your board meeting at Foster Rosières means: 

  • improving the quality of exchanges, 

  • promoting aligned and accountable decisions, 

  • allowing for long-term thinking, 

  • embodying contemporary governance.
