The Diligent One Platform provides a single source for AI-powered governance tools, training and best practices, and leading integrations to enhance decision-making and risk management

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.

Diligent’s expanded Education & Templates Library also provides governance professionals with tailored educational content and best-practice templates across emerging areas such as:

• Artificial Intelligence: Assisting leaders in navigating AI's challenges and opportunities in a dynamic landscape, with a focus on responsible and strategic oversight.

• Cyber Risk: Helping boards and leaders develop cyber literacy and resilience, giving them the knowledge and tools to safeguard their organization against cyber risks, conduct tabletops and lead with confidence.

• Governance and Board Structure: Empowering boards, general counsel and corporate secretaries with best practices to build effective boards and committees, shape board agendas and strengthen board effectiveness.

• Private, Public & Pre-IPO Organizations: Helping leaders meet the specific challenges of private, pre-IPO and public companies.

In addition, Diligent’s new Director & Officer (D&O) questionnaire templates, developed with global law firm Goodwin, and board evaluation and assessment questionnaire templates, developed by the Diligent Institute, build on existing resources within the Diligent One Platform to help organizations manage critical governance responsibilities and meet regulatory requirements with ease.

"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," said Nithya Das, Chief Legal and Chief Administrative Officer at Diligent. "These tools and resources give organizations the advantage of building knowledge and supporting compliance in an evolving regulatory landscape while increasing efficiencies and reducing costs.”
