In this 24-minute episode of our Women Governance Trailblazers podcast, Courtney and I spoke with Dottie Schindlinger – who is Executive Director of Diligent Institute and recently co-authored “Governance in the Digital Age: A Guide for the Modern Corporate Board Director.”

Dottie has been a real trailblazer with technology in the boardroom, founding BoardEffect back in 2009 and growing it into the basis for tools used by many boards today. We discussed:

1. Dottie’s career path in building technology platforms for boards and helping boards oversee technology risks and opportunities.

2. How directors and their advisors can stay informed in a time of rapid change.

3. Governance frameworks and ethical guardrails, including board AI usage frameworks, that balance stakeholder protection with strategic innovation.

4. Key topics for board agendas right now.

5. Dottie’s advice for the next generation of women governance trailblazers.
