Voici un article très intéressant sur l’augmentation fulgurante de l’utilisation des iPad par les membres de conseils d’administration, notamment par les C.A. d’OBNL. En août 2011, la firme australienne de consultation pour OBNL de Steven Bowman, Conscious Governance,  a effectué un sondage auprès de CEO et de membres de C.A. d’OBNL afin, entre autre, de savoir ce qu’ils pensaient  de l’utilisation des iPad dans les réunions de conseils.

Steven Bowman explique ce qui l’a surpris lors du survey : “I have seen an exponential growth in the use of iPads in the Board room since February 2011. What surprised me most were the comments from large numbers of Directors that their use of the iPad was actually assisting them to focus even more, and that the Board meetings were even more productive. And often these comments were coming from Directors who had refused to use laptops, sometimes even email, prior to the introduction of the iPad.” Voici les points saillants des résultats du sondage.

1. There is keen interest in the possibilities of iPad use;
2. Top concerns about iPad use in the boardroom are security and usability;
3. The iPad is both useful and limited;
4. The iPad receives high marks for increasing efficiency;
5. Success relies on making sure each board member has a device and on providing good training.
