Keeping Governing Boards Accountable & On Track: NXTBoard and Brown Dog Consulting Partner to Help Leadership Teams and Governing Boards ExcelAUSTIN, Texas and OTTAWA, Aug. 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NXTBoard, the Austin-based board management technology company, is partnering with the governance education firm, Brown Dog Consulting, to boost boards of directors’ ability to perform successfully over the long-term. NXTBoard is an online board management platform that helps organizations be effective and accountable. By enabling Brown Dog Consulting to immediately gain insight, collaborate with boards and leadership teams, and monitor progress, clients benefit from governance coaching in real time and can make course corrections before issues have a chance to intensify or accumulate. NXTBoard is particularly helpful when new board members come online, enabling them to get up-to-speed quickly and find their way around what can seem like a complex collection of policies, processes, and practices. Similarly, Brown Dog Consulting's online governance learning program, the Board EXCELerator, helps to ensure that new board members are confident about their role as soon as they join the board. “When our clients first come to us, they are most often relying on things like email, Dropbox, Basecamp, and Google Docs. Those solutions, however, are primarily designed for document sharing, not for governance and the proper development of olicies,” said Susan Mogensen, president of Brown Dog Consulting. “We appreciate NXTBoard because it delivers that critical missing piece to the puzzle and keeps boards on track." “This is a natural partnership because both NXTBoard and Brown Dog Consulting want boards and the communities they serve to experience a long-lasting, positive return on the investments they’ve made in governing with excellence,” said Corey Masson, director of business development for NXTBoard.
