Lighting the way: How Canadian Light Source supports modern governance with Diligent

When Canadian Light Source’s Corporate Secretary saw how paper-heavy workflows and a dispersed board were slowing governance, she knew it was time to modernize.

By moving away from binders and email attachments, CLS consolidated agendas, board books and minutes into Diligent Boards for a single, secure source of truth. Diligent Data Room added a controlled way to share sensitive materials with outside agencies without sacrificing security. With GovernAI’s Smart Prep Insights and Smart Summary, dense board books became concise, actionable briefings that help directors arrive ready for deeper discussion.

See how these tools reshaped their governance processes without overwhelming directors with different levels of digital comfort.

Learn how they:

Centralized agendas, board materials and minutes in one secure platform to streamline preparation
Eliminated version sprawl by collaborating on board minutes directly within Diligent Boards
Share sensitive documents with external stakeholders using granular permissions and time-limited access
