“We were dealing with a group of board members who were highly engaged and highly committed outside of Alliant, executives at their own companies, and we needed to get them information in real-time, quickly, that they could use anywhere, just not during our meetings, but before and after our meetings,” says Lee Schafer, senior vice president of corporate affairs and chief administrative officer.
Providing anytime, anywhere, digital access to board materials was central to a larger strategic shift occurring at Alliant Credit Union. That meant managing governance through expanded committee work.
By collaborating across teams, time zones, and continents with OnBoard, their board can arrive at more deeply considered decisions.
“How that translates for us is that more work each year is done by the committees of the board, rather than the whole board,” Schafer says. “That’s because the board can’t just do all of the work by themselves, given all of the complexities that are in front of us. What OnBoard provides us is exactly that. All of the work that’s done by the committees, the reports they are receiving, the consultant activity that’s going on that’s posted to OnBoard – all of that becomes visible to every board member.
“When they are required to act on recommendation from the committees, they have easy real-time access to be able to look at that information, absorb it, and gain insight from the work the committee has done, in an effective way, in a digital way, without having to send messages back and forth, they have access right there on their portal,” Schafer says.
