Now that most organisations have moved to virtual work, it’s important that governance professionals are rapidly adapting board and executive processes to virtual settings. How are other boards and governance teams streamlining the virtual meeting process? How can you ensure sensitive board materials remain protected? How are they learning to leverage Diligent to build your agenda, take meeting minutes and onboard directors virtually? In this panel session, Diligent customers will share how they are navigating these challenges and leveraging technology, all while avoiding security risks.

At the beginning of 2020, it seemed that climate change and climate action would dominate board agendas for the rest of the year. Then the pandemic hit, quickly followed by a global social movement against systemic racism and injustice. Boards are now challenged to adopt an “ESG-mindset” on everything from the health and safety of employees and customers, to aligning strategy to environmental sustainability, to ensuring their governance practices keep pace with social movements. What does all of this mean for those of us who support the work of boards? This session features a panel discussion on ESG topics, providing perspectives on where we are headed and what governance professionals and their boards should know for the future.
- Nathan Birtle – Senior Vice President, Diligent
- David Shammai – Corporate Governance and ESG specialist
- Dr Filipe Morais – Lecturer in Governance, Henley Business School
For many organisations, 2020 has been all about survival. The pandemic and resulting turbulence in the global economy was a “black swan” event that created an unprecedented set of challenges for many organisations; and some were already dealing with changing market dynamics, pressure from shareholders and activists, and scandal. When times are tough, what are the best ways for governance professionals to help their organisations to not only survive, but thrive? Our speakers from industries hit hard by recent challenges will share their top survival strategies and lessons learned to help you thrive.
- Dottie Schindlinger – Executive Director, Diligent Institute
- Andy Casey – Head of Corporate Secretarial Services, Konexo
- Lauren Osman – Transformation & Compliance Manager, The Avenues Trust Group
