Let’s look at St John’s Grammar school, an Australian private, early learning, primary and secondary school.
Samantha Ellis, Executive Assistant to the school’s Business Director, manages board meetings and sought a board management software that would bring greater efficiency and accuracy to the process.
Implementing OnBoard took only a couple of weeks. “From signing up to using OnBoard live was a pretty quick process,” she states, and she immediately noticed it was a lot quicker and easier to put board packets together.
“I would definitely recommend OnBoard to other educators,” she says. “The functionality, ease of use, and devices you can use it on—those are the things they should be looking at. Not bells and whistles.”
Now let’s look at Purdue University, one of the top public universities in West Lafayette, Indiana, United States.
University Trustee Gary Lehman approached OnBoard as board materials were taking an exceptionally long time to compile, and rightly so, given the huge amount of information required to be included.
By the time board members received materials to review before the board meeting, they were reviewing information that was weeks old. A lot changes in that time.
Now using OnBoard, information is accurate to the day and materials can be easily reviewed using any which device so easily and what’s more?
“On all the boards I’m involved with that use OnBoard, the directors are much more engaged,” Lehman says. “It gets you information that’s absolutely accurate and up to the second.”
