tavlemøde

Danish to English Bus/Financial Management

Opfølgningen sker i praksis via tavlemøder, ledet af indkøbschefen, hvor udviklingen på de enkelte KPI'er gennemgås og forbedringer identificeres.

Perhaps there is a more straightforward way of putting it in English, or is it simply a 'board meeting'?

Thanks for any help.

board meeting
