Embracing the future of governance: Tracey Brady on Diligent's strategic vision
In a recent interview with the London Stock Exchange, Tracey Brady, Head of Global Corporate Services at Diligent, shared her insights on the company’s strategic vision and the transformative impact it aims to have on the governance community. Diligent’s mission is clear: to modernise governance and support governance professionals in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of regulations and compliance.
A vision for modern governance
The world of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) is changing rapidly, and Diligent is at the forefront of this transformation. With 25 years of experience in governance, Tracey Brady is leading the charge.
This vision is not just about keeping up with the latest trends but about fundamentally changing the way governance is practiced. By leveraging advanced tools and platforms, Diligent aims to provide governance professionals with the resources they need to stay ahead of the curve.
Integrating GRC tools for seamless compliance
At the heart of Diligent’s strategy is the integration of GRC tools. These unified solutions offer a comprehensive view of governance, risk, and compliance, making it easier for professionals to manage their day-to-day tasks. “We are integrating various tools to offer more powerful and integrated solutions,” Tracey explains.
Emphasising the importance of a cohesive approach to GRC, Tracey notes: “It's about bringing governance, risk, and compliance together in a way that not only integrates tools but offers amazing insight analytics and unifies the whole piece. It's an exciting time to be bringing this to our community.”
The power of AI in governance
AI is a critical component of Diligent’s strategic vision. Tracey states; “AI is such a big area. And what we want to do at Diligent is bring AI to people in a safe way, in a way that's integrated appropriately and really transparent to the user.”
By ensuring that AI is used safely and transparently, Diligent is empowering governance professionals to make more informed decisions. AI-driven insights can help identify potential risks, optimise workflows, and provide actionable recommendations, all while maintaining high standards of transparency and accountability.
