AI doesn’t take the human out of leadership - it makes the boardroom even smarter. Nearly all of the WSJ Top 250 Directors (a huge 97%) depend on Diligent to turn complex information into clear actions and work better together. With Diligent, directors are using AI to stay ahead and make smarter decisions, faster. Interested in seeing how top directors make technology work for them?

Unlocking true workforce productivity requires a focus on the results delivered by individuals rather than merely the hours worked. This perspective is increasingly relevant as we redefine productivity and 'human capital' in the age of advanced AI. Recently, Stavros Demetriou and I co-authored a paper that explores the critical role leaders play in guiding individuals and teams to understand what success looks like. We discuss how leaders can provide the necessary support to help maximize and measure productivity. https://lnkd.in/gaiEQP8T

🚀 Proud Moment for Our Team! 🚀 We’re excited to share that our CEO, Aaron Brossoit, was recently published in Trade & Industry Development with the insightful article “Why AI Strengthens the Human Side of Site Selection.” In it, Aaron explores how AI is transforming site selection—automating the heavy data-work so that decision-makers can spend more time on the human, qualitative side: community culture, workforce resilience, leadership vision, and more. It’s not about replacing people—it’s about empowering them to do what machines can’t. Check out the full piece and join the conversation 👉https://hubs.ly/Q03NwQFQ0

Headteachers don’t need more spreadsheets. They need clarity at a glance. When data is scattered, leadership conversations stall. Meetings end up focused on whether the numbers are right, not what to do about them. AI, layered on top of assessment, flips that. Automatic alerts show strengths and weaknesses across year groups or subject areas. Suddenly, leaders aren’t guessing but they’re making sharper, faster decisions. That’s when assessment stops being a burden and starts being a tool for improvement.

Ever sat in a leadership meeting and wondered, *why aren’t our AI efforts actually moving the needle?* We’ve seen it across industries. Smart teams, clear intent, solid investment—yet no meaningful change. Not because leaders don’t care, but because pilots often live in isolation. They never quite reach the messy, human centre of how business truly gets done. We’ve been there too. And what surprised us most? The moment AI touches real workflows—not just dashboards—everything shifts. Slowly, then all at once. 📅 Curious about pragmatic AI strategies?
