A Brand-New Day
Welcome to a new look and feel for OnBoard.
When we created OnBoard in 2011, we did so with a clear idea in mind: That board meetings should be informed, effective, and uncomplicated. For too long, outdated processes, divided communication, and fragmented technology had made it hard for boards and leadership teams to be their best.
A bright new future where board meetings thrive
Since that day, more than 2,000 organizations across the world have joined the OnBoard journey to transform and improve the work of their boards and governance.
Today, we welcome you to the next step in our mission to be the essential technology partner of choice for boards, directors, and their leadership teams. Today, we unveil a new OnBoard brand that continues the promise of a better board meeting experience.
The new OnBoard includes a modern and fresh update to its visual identity, but equally important is our strong confirmation of purpose, our commitment to you and our customers, partners, employees, and stakeholders.
“We’re creating a future where elegant technology frees boards and leadership teams to make better decisions and pursue bold action.”
Bold Vision & Mission
Boards set the pace, tone, and strategy for all organizations. Yet the hand of digital transformation has been unable to reach most boardrooms. The next normal of governance requires new levels of collaboration and intelligence that digital technology adoption can uniquely provide.
For OnBoard, this premise informs our bold vision: OnBoard is the realization of our vision and mission – a born-in-the-cloud board intelligence platform that promotes deeper engagement and ensures big decisions are backed by clear insights.
- Anticipate – Effective leadership means knowing what’s ahead. We give boards and their teams technology that uncovers insights and simplifies meeting management so they can anticipate challenges before they arise.
- Accelerate – Focusing on the path forward requires real-time decisions and sustained collaboration. We simplify communication to ensure every decision is tied to clear, meaningful data.
- Advocate – Directors, executives, and administrators need secure, flexible solutions to realize their vision of the future.
