NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diligent, a leading GRC SaaS company, today announced new features within the Diligent One Platform to empower boards and leaders to boost efficiency, streamline board meeting preparation and strengthen risk oversight. Key features include new AI Smart Prep capabilities for insightful question recommendations ahead of board meetings, a Google Drive integration for faster, simpler and secure board preparation, and an expanded Education & Templates Library with over 150 tailored governance resources.
"In today’s rapidly evolving governance landscape, being equipped with the right resources to drive decision making and ask informed questions is essential," said Ana Dutra, Board Director at Pembina Pipeline Corporation and CarParts.com. “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 continues to rise."
New features to improve board meeting preparation include AI Smart Prep, which enhances meeting readiness with recommended questions and draft responses sourced from board and leadership content, helping directors and leaders drive strategic discussions. In addition, Diligent’s recent integration with Google Drive enables users to securely upload Google Docs and other files directly into board books, saving time spent on meeting preparation and empowering collaborators to contribute their documents with ease. Diligent’s platform and integration with leading productivity tools cuts meeting preparation time in half, according to a Total Economic Impact™ Diligent Board & Leadership Collaboration commissioned study, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Diligent.
