As part of the collaboration, Boardman has adopted ContractZen's board portal for its own operations and actively supports the development of ContractZen's services, particularly the design of functions that utilize artificial intelligence. Boardman also promotes the use of ContractZen's governance solutions within its extensive network of Finnish business leaders, board members, and owners.
The current global business environment poses unprecedented challenges for companies, such as ever-increasing competition, economic instability, and changing regulatory requirements. In these circumstances, effective board work and leadership are key to the sustainable success of companies. The collaboration between ContractZen and Boardman responds to this need by providing companies with tools and expertise that enable them to respond quickly to risks and opportunities.
"We see ContractZen's tools effectively supporting the digitalization and development of board work, especially in growth companies."
Taru Lindeman, CEO of Boardman.
"We are proud of our collaboration with Boardman, which does invaluable work in developing board and management practices in Finland. In today's turbulent global environment, modern and well-managed governance is vital for companies to navigate uncertainty and quickly seize new opportunities as they arise," says Markus Mikola, CEO of ContractZen. "This collaboration strengthens our capability to provide companies with advanced tools to support their growth."
ContractZen works closely with organizations and networks that support corporate governance. The new collaboration with Boardman and the previously launched partnership with Government partners – Board Professionals Helsinki strengthen ContractZen's ability to support board work and leadership development and to digitize key board processes.
