“We live at a moment when corporate boardrooms are being challenged as never before, with rising demands from employees, governments, and society that go far beyond the traditional confines of their businesses,” says FORTUNE CEO Alan Murray. “We are proud to partner with Diligent to give board members the tools they need to meet the moment and cultivate a board with a long-term vision that will serve stakeholders well.”

In his CEO Daily newsletter, Murray explains further: “The reasons for this should be obvious. The three mega trends affecting all businesses—the explosion in business technology, the rising attention to stakeholder demands, and the rethinking of work and office—are heaping huge new burdens and responsibilities on corporate board members. The goal of The Modern Board is to help directors navigate those new demands, with an eye, as always, on making business better.”
“Today’s boardroom is experiencing a seismic shift where leaders are expected to simultaneously manage social, environmental and business issues that are imperative to their stakeholders,” said Diligent CEO Brian Stafford. “This new partnership with FORTUNE will be an invaluable resource for our world’s top business leaders as they navigate a new spectrum of risk and are seeking greater visibility into more aspects of their business than ever before.”
