Diligent enhances platform with AI & Google Drive tools

Diligent has announced new enhancements to the Diligent One Platform designed to improve board and leadership efficiency, streamline meeting preparation, and enhance risk oversight.

The platform now includes AI Smart Prep capabilities, which offer insightful question recommendations prior to board meetings, and a Google Drive integration that simplifies and secures board document preparations. Additionally, the expanded Education & Templates Library offers over 150 governance resources tailored to aid board and leadership effectiveness.

Ana Dutra, Board Director at Pembina Pipeline Corporation and CarParts.com, remarked, "In today's rapidly evolving governance landscape, being equipped with the right resources to drive decision making and ask informed questions is essential. Tailored educational content and AI-driven meeting preparation helps boards and leaders uphold their governance responsibilities more effectively, ensuring they remain agile and informed as the expectations for leadership continue to rise."

The recent integration with Google Drive allows users to securely upload documents into board books, significantly reducing preparation time. This feature, alongside the AI Smart Prep, is part of making meeting processes more efficient and collaborative, as confirmed by a study conducted by Forrester Consulting.

The platform's expanded educational resources cover topics such as Artificial Intelligence, cyber risk, governance structures, and challenges specific to private, public, and pre-IPO companies. These resources aim to support leaders in adapting to regulatory demands and building resilient governance frameworks.

Diligent has also introduced new Director & Officer (D&O) and board evaluation questionnaires, developed in collaboration with global law firm Goodwin and the Diligent Institute, respectively. These tools are designed to assist organisations in handling governance responsibilities and regulatory compliance effectively.

Nithya Das, Chief Legal and Chief Administrative Officer at Diligent, stated, "Diligent's new Education & Templates Library, AI-powered capabilities and leading integrations reflect our commitment to providing boards and executives with the practical tools and expert guidance needed to navigate today's complex governance environment. These tools and resources give organisations the advantage of building knowledge and supporting compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape while increasing efficiencies and reducing costs."
