Diligent

This month’s updates across Diligent Boards and Diligent Entities reduce manual setup in board prep, surface AI insights sooner and make it easier to confirm ownership, approvals, and next steps without digging. See what’s changed — and how these updates help GCs, CoSecs, and legal ops teams keep governance moving when the pressure’s on. Explore what’s new ↓ #GRC #governance #entities bit.ly/4dhVKb3

📚 Why drown in 500-page board books when you can have one secure, AI-powered source of truth? A modern board portal puts everything your directors need to govern—clearly, quickly, and confidently—in one place.

Every organization says it's using AI. The real question is whether it's delivering measurable impact. That's the line anchoring our post-Elevate playbook, and it's the question we heard from governance, risk, audit and compliance leaders all the way through the event. Not "are we using AI?" but "is it actually closing the complexity-capacity gap?" 📌 The new guide pulls together the best ideas from #Elevate2026 into something practical — benchmarks, case studies, a SWOT template, and an action plan you can take into your next board or committee meeting. → bit.ly/42CInvW

Some events you leave with a tote bag. At #CLOC2026 we left with a tarot reading, a sugar headache, and a much clearer read on what legal ops actually wants from AI. 🔮 Entity complexity is outpacing capacity, boards want a live answer on AI risk rather than a quarterly slide, and nobody's leaving spreadsheets for AI that can't hold up to a regulator on a bad day. We're putting numbers behind all of that in our State of Entity Compliance Report, landing in a couple of weeks. 👀

Even the most prepared directors can’t catch every insight hidden in hundreds of pages of board materials. 🗂️ Our GM for Governance and Chief Legal Officer, Nithya Das, has seen firsthand how AI can surface hidden connections at lightning speed — augmenting directors’ judgment, not replacing it. 🤖 See how our AI Board Member can help: ai.boardroom.diligentoneplatform.com #GRC #AI #AgenticAI #boardroom

📈 Almost 250 companies across Asia faced public pressure from their own shareholders last year. That's up nearly 23% from 2024. Another 100+ companies have already been targeted in the first three months of 2026. What used to be the occasional flare-up has become a fixture of how Asian markets work. Governance issues alone now account for almost one-third of activist demands in 2026 so far, reflecting how reforms by governments and regulators are pushing governance up the agenda. So where is this heading next? 🌏 Our new Corporate Governance in Asia 2026 report from Diligent Market Intelligence, produced in partnership with Georgeson, outlines what's driving the shift ↓ bit.ly/4wi7SjI #GRC #governance #shareholders #asia #2026 #activism #shareholderactivism

In this clip, Neil Barlow talks about using an AI Board Member as a digital advisor for directors that remembers the full history, pulls in what’s happening in the wider world and gives them space to pressure-test ideas before they’re in the room. It’s about helping boards ask better questions and show up to the conversation more prepared. 🧠 #AgenticAI bit.ly/4mJtam9

👀 The Subsidiary Governance Agent made its debut at #Elevate2026. Keeping board materials, approvals and filings aligned across a large entity portfolio is one of the most manual, highest-risk jobs in governance. A single director appointment alone triggers a chain of jurisdiction-specific work across multiple teams and systems. 🤖 The Director Appointment capability now handles that end to end, drafting resolutions, routing approvals, tracking signatures and generating official minutes. It also watches between cycles and flags gaps as they surface. Sign up for early access: bit.ly/3RglwUp #GRC #AI #AgenticAI #governance

🤖 Talk to a board about AI in the boardroom and you hear about strategy, competitive edge and disruption. Talk to the people pulling the board book together and you hear about Friday nights spent chasing signals across too many tools. 🎥 Neil Barlow speaks to that gap and what changes when it all finally lives in one place.

Ask Dr. Dambisa Moyo what new directors should do in their first board meeting and she'll tell you, tongue firmly in cheek, to keep their mouth shut. 🤐 The real point behind the joke. Joining a board is a bit like showing up in the middle of a movie. Jump in too fast and you'll miss the plot, the cultural signals, and the social dynamics that matter most. Read the room first, contribute with conviction second. Hear more from Dr. Moyo in our latest #TrustedToLead conversation. bit.ly/4uwPbHw
