What is Diligent Community
Diligent Community is a governance-focused online community and resource hub that supports board members, executives, and governance professionals with peer discussion, events, and educational content. It is used to share practices and guidance related to board operations, risk, compliance, and leadership topics. The product functions as a community layer within Diligent’s broader governance ecosystem rather than as a standalone board portal for agenda packs and meeting workflows. It primarily targets governance stakeholders looking for benchmarking, learning, and networking alongside their board-management processes.
Governance-focused peer network
It provides a structured environment for board and governance professionals to exchange perspectives and practical guidance. This can help users benchmark policies and approaches across organizations. The focus on governance topics aligns with common board-management needs such as oversight, risk, and compliance.
Educational content and events
It offers access to articles, webinars, and event programming oriented around governance and board effectiveness. This supports ongoing learning for directors, corporate secretaries, and governance teams. The format complements operational board tools by addressing process and people considerations, not only document workflows.
Ecosystem alignment with Diligent
As part of Diligent’s governance product ecosystem, it can be relevant for organizations already using Diligent solutions for board and compliance workflows. This alignment can reduce vendor fragmentation for governance teams that want both tooling and community resources. It also helps standardize terminology and practices across related governance functions.
Not a board portal
It is not primarily designed to manage board books, agendas, minutes, approvals, or secure meeting collaboration end-to-end. Organizations seeking a single system for board meeting execution will typically require a dedicated board management application. As a result, it may not replace core board-portal functionality found in other products in the category.
Value depends on engagement
The usefulness of a community platform depends on active participation, relevant discussions, and timely content updates. If users do not engage regularly, the practical benefit can be limited compared with workflow tools that deliver value through mandated processes. Some organizations may also restrict participation due to confidentiality or policy constraints.
Limited fit for niche needs
Community resources tend to be broad and may not map directly to highly specialized governance requirements or industry-specific regulations. Organizations with strict internal playbooks may find less need for external discussion and general guidance. In those cases, the product may serve as a supplemental resource rather than a primary system.
