> Each board director could ask for a particular thing they require, or a briefing themself, eliminating human intermediary

You are missing the point of board briefings. The CEO serves as a critical filter of information, deciding what to tell the board and how to frame it. If you take the CEO out of it, you're giving the board full access to the company's state. There's enough going on day-to-day that each member can tell themselves the story they want to believe. The CEO is there to advocate for the company and present a unified front, you can't take them out of the equation.

Isn't the CEO taking themselves out of the equation in this demo?

[phailhaus]

No, because they are not blindly passing on the briefing to the board. It's a starting point, and presumably they're going to tweak it.

Why would a board refuse to use this tool? Why would a board want to allow the CEO to filter and frame?

[caseyf7]

Because it opens them up to liability. The most experienced board members will leave the board deck behind so they don’t have a copy. They sure won’t go searching for things that aren’t presented in the board meeting. It’s better for them to blame and fire the CEO.
